Electricity and passion will be powering the 2019 Pork Pie Charity Run, with two MINI Countryman plug-in hybrids making the legendary drive from Kaitaia to Invercargill, for the first time. 

 

Now in its 12th year, the biennial Pork Pie Charity Run is staged in partnership with the KidsCan Charitable Trust.  Started in 2005, KidsCan supports Kiwi kids in hardship with essentials for learning including food, shoes, raincoats and health items.

 

The Pork Pie Charity Run features a total of 60 vehicles, old and new, and during the six days will cover over 2,500 kilometres through New Zealand’s unique and ever-changing scenery.

 

The 2019 event, proudly supported by MINI New Zealand, will depart Kaitaia on Friday 19th April, concluding in Invercargill on Wednesday 24th April.

 

Team MINI NZ will be led by MINI product & sales planning manager, Lisa Kleinheinz, driving the first MINI Cooper S E ALL4 Countryman.  The second car will be driven by a team from KidsCan including the charity’s CEO and founder, Julie Chapman.

 

The MINI Cooper S E ALL4 Countryman is the brand’s first electrically-powered model, offering typical MINI driving characteristics from the combined electric and petrol drivetrain.  Later in 2019 MINI will unveil its first-fully electric Hatch model, expected in New Zealand during 2020.

 

2019 is a significant year both locally and internationally, celebrating 60 years since the launch of the classic Mini.  A special edition model, the MINI 60 Years Edition, will launch in the middle of the year to commemorate the occasion.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
