Jay Leno is Serious About Biodiesel

Wisconsin Ag Connection - Marshfield, WI, USA - Jay Leno has been keeping auto engineers up late at night, but not just with his monologues. The Tonight Show host and auto expert has designed a car last year to run on 100% biodiesel and recently met with National Biodiesel Board CEO Joe Jobe to show it off.

At the heart of the EcoJet concept car is a 650 horsepower turbine engine, which sits inside a modified Corvette frame. Jay also uses biodiesel in one of his motorcycles and in his New Holland tractor that he uses to move this famous car collection.

The primary goal of the EcoJet was to design and build a car that ran on environmentally friendly fuel that didn't run like a Prius.
