MEIRINGEN, Switzerland (Reuters) - A pair of sturdy goats led 10 cows with regional and national flags tied to horns and bridles up toward the mountains this week at the launch of a new Swiss eco-project.
Behind the animals came a silent line of 60 brightly colored small cars, which then sped off -- equally silently -- toward the nearest Alpine pass.
"I think just one of those cows made more noise than all of us put together," said bemused Swiss tourism official Federico Somarruga, at the wheel of one of the two-seater automobiles.
The occasion was the launch in central Switzerland of a green tourism project, dubbed Alpmobil, to promote the use of battery-driven electric vehicles -- EVs to the cognoscenti -- by summer visitors to the area some 100 km (63 miles) southeast of the Swiss capital Bern.
