A special event to familiarize people with buses was held at Isuzu Plaza on Saturday, September 21 in honor of "Bus Day" (Sep. 20) ^*, which commemorates the first day of bus operation in Japan.

The main feature of the event was the exhibition of DeuSEL® buses, which run on environmentally-friendly fuel produced from euglena microorganisms to achieve a carbon cycle. In addition to holding an exhibition panel to explain how fuel is made from euglena, Isuzu employees involved in DeuSEL® work answered questions from visitors.

There was also a bus that visitors could freely explore, inside which they could wear a bus driver's cap and take commemorative photographs at the driver's seat. Many families participated, taking photos of their children smiling on the driver's seat.

A workshop was also held at the plaza's studio, where children could create original tin badges by painting a picture of Isuzu's Erga bus character, "Erga-chan." The Hakobuu mascot character also made an appearance. The event was enjoyable for children and adults alike, and it was a lively day for many visitors.
