Oil is running out. Petrol and diesel prices are at an all-time high, and predicted to continue increasing. And we need to reduce our carbon emissions.

We’re in the middle of a huge quantum leap change in terms of how we look at the vehicles we drive.

Just two years ago, when Green-Car-Guide.com was launched, the motor industry and the media were still focusing on a vehicle’s speed and power. However we believed that people should instead focus more on how efficient a vehicle was. So our Green Car Guide revolved around the headline figures of miles per gallon and CO2 emissions.

Today our pioneering approach has proved visionary. Even though the need to reduce our emissions has been evident through extensive coverage of the issues surrounding climate change for the last few years, it’s only now that people are realising that we need to use less oil to power our vehicles as fuel prices seem to be escalating out of control.

So the idea behind Green-Car-Guide Live! 2008 was to provide a real solution at this time. People want progress and mobility, but we must also be sustainable.

So we believe that companies and private motorists should now only consider buying one type of vehicle – a green one. However until now, seeing the latest range of green vehicles all under one roof has been virtually impossible.

The aim of Green-Car-Guide Live! 2008 was to provide a solution to this by displaying a range of the latest energy-efficient vehicles that can help motorists and fleet operators save money on running costs.
