save the world that they live in. The individualization of the car called “Journey of Hope” is
represented by the dark green color of the rain forests in its exterior color and unique
scuff-plates made of 70-percent recycled aluminum showing wildlife engravings on the
doors, further improving the recycled content of the vehicle. The hand-over took place as
part of the 90th birthday celebration activities for Dr. Jane Goodall in London, UK earlier
this week.
FISKER’S CTO DAVID KING HANDS OVER BESPOKE VERSION OF OCEAN TO JANE GOODALL IN LONDON, UK
Dr. Jane Goodall said: “I would like to thank Fisker for supporting the Jane Goodall
Institution this unique version of the Fisker Ocean ‘Journey of Hope’. I believe that hope is
often misunderstood by many – it is not simply passive, wishful thinking. Real hope
requires action and engagement to achieve results. The name of this special car reflects
our combined desire for real hope for our planet and future generations.”
