Reduce your CO2 emissions
10am-4pm, Thursday 12th June 2008, Liverpool
The world is finally waking up to the need for energy-efficient vehicles
The ever-rising price of oil, fears over CO2 emissions, and increasing taxes are all creating
ever-mounting pressure to purchase energy-efficient vehicles. Organisations also need to demonstrate a responsible policy towards environmental issues.
However there are few opportunities for people to see the latest class-leading low emission vehicles in the metal, all in one place.
Experience class-leading low emission vehicles – hands-on
Green-Car-Guide Live! 2008 provides an answer to this – it’s a one-day-only Green Motor Show displaying the latest energy-efficient vehicles, providing an opportunity for you to see class-leading low emission vehicles all in one place.
It’s Free!
The event is aimed at businesses and other organisations with vehicle fleets, and entrance is
free, although admission will only be possible by
pre-registration at www.Green-Car-Guide.com.
Cars, vans, trucks... and a few surprises!
The low carbon vehicles exhibited will range from city cars through to executive cars and even commercial vehicles. Vehicle technology will include petrol, diesel, biofuel, hybrid and electric. Visitors can see ‘in the metal’ many of the vehicles that appear in the Green-Car-Guide e-Book available at www.Green-Car-Guide.com.
There will also be a number of ‘show stoppers’ on display, ranging from the pioneering Oaktec Honda hybrid rally car to a diesel-electric Land Rover Defender and various other interesting new vehicles that are about to hit the market.
Seminars to explain about hybrids, biofuels and more...
The event will also include a seminar programme covering subjects such as an overview of the latest green vehicles, biofuels, and how you can monitor and improve your CO2 emissions in real time. There will also be a series of Technical Workshops run by Cenex.
Brought to you by...
The event is organised by Green-Car-Guide.com, in association with Merseytravel’s ECOtravel Bureau, and sponsored by Masternaut Three X GreenerFleet, Cenex and the Northwest Regional Development Agency.
