Shrek & The Solar-Powered Golf Cart.

Today Shrek and The Mummy were on hand as the first movie studio and theme park introduced a solar powered golf cart as a means of employee transportation.

Designed and manufactured by the Cruise Car company, this device will save fossil fuel use and cut carbon emissions as it replaces the familiar gas-powered studio transportation staples.

It's all part of Universal's "Green is Universal" initiative.

Universal Studios Hollywood is committed to energy conservation and has been effective in creating “Green” opportunities through environmentally conscious theme park ride construction. 

The parks’ new “The Simpsons Ride” debuted this past summer to a series of dramatic savings in energy consumption achieved through the use of new lighting technologies, new technologies in electric motor drives and through cutting-edge software designed to control hydraulic systems for maximum efficiency.

Universal Studios Hollywood is also the first-ever theme park to be awarded the Environmental Media Association's Green Seal Award for achievements in environmental awareness.
