Leading carmakers from around the globe are
gearing up to Exhibit at the world's first-ever 'green' car show at the Eden
Project in Cornwall sponsored by Co-operative Insurance (CIS).
The Eden Project, home to the biggest greenhouses on earth, will be 'bedded in'
with impressive eco-friendly machines for 'The Sexy Green Car Show' from March
30 to April 15 2007.
The planet's premier eco-car show is attracting the giants from the
motoring-world eager to showcase the very latest in 'green' driving, alongside
innovators in car design, transport leaders and fuel manufacturers.
Saab will be heading for Cornwall with their
9300 biopower convertible and 9300 biopower cutaway and are also discussing with Eden
the possibility of bringing their
Aero X hydrogen concept coupe. Vauxhall
are to showcase their latest Zafira and
Corsa models while Ford are putting up
the new Focus flexi-fuel convertible. The latest Mercedes
Smart EV car
will rub bumpers with the Lexus executive saloon and
RX400h, both hybrids,
and the "mean but green"
Toyota Prius. One of the real head-turners will
be the D1 Oils 24-hour Le Mans race car which runs on biodiesel.
Eden's Marketing Director David Meneer said: "We are delighted that so many
major players in the motoring world are now committed to what promises to be a
world first - a show entirely devoted to 'green' motoring.
"Traditionally, environmental organisations have not had much to say about cars,
except to try to persuade people not to use them, and more recently not to buy
4X4s. However, 'The Sexy Green Car Show' aims to give motorists who want to go
'green' a better understanding of Government schemes such as the new fridge-type
efficiency labels on cars, tax bands on emissions and variable congestion
charges."
