FEDERAL REPUBLIC
OF GERMANY
PAVILION
"World
in motion -- World in Touch" was the theme of Germany's pavilion.
Exhibits included a facade of the Anhalter-Bahnhof rail station from
which
a 25 ton, 15-metre long scale model of the country's magnetic
levitation
train (called the Transrapid) was kept. Also displayed were
speech-recognition
vehicles for the disabled, automobiles, motorcycles, powerful trucks
and
track-guided Duobus.
As an example
of co-operation
between science and environmental protection agencies, a ship capable
of
suctioning spilt oil from the surface of the sea was brought over to
Expo
for demonstration purposes.
Germany's
co-operation
in space technology was also displayed through schematics of their
Space
shuttle framework design.
HIGHLIGHTS
-- The Duobus
at the entrance
to the pavilion can be operated by either diesel fuel or electricity
and
can travel on rail tracks or on tires.
