Golf fanatics with money to burn can now invest in an exclusive buggy that is built to order. Costing some US$64,000, the buggy is assembled in the same factory used to build Porsche’s Boxster and Cayman models. Meanwhile structural components for this performance buggy are made by the same firm supplying Aston Martin and Jaguar. With its top speed of 56km/h, the buggy can hardly match the Aston Martin, Jaguar or Porsche models for performance although it is said to offer similar levels of build quality and comfort at least. It can also be specified in road legal format if required.

  • A breakthrough in the horizontal reuse of PA (porous asphalt)
    May 12, 2016
    An ambitious objective has led to significant steps in the reuse of PA (porous asphalt). While the market incidentally produces PA with a maximum of 30% of recovered raw materials, BAM has introduced its own innovations, enabling more than 90% of raw materials to be reused. And this year, subsidies from the European Commission will enable the LE2AP demonstration project to be constructed: one kilometre of sustainable PA. Large-scale production is also being developed.
