Eco Car Challenge premiers the latest selection of eco-friendly vehicles
The Eco Car Challenge takes place on September 12th in London and will feature the latest range of environmental motoring solutions, including: racing supercars, town runabouts, scooters and bikes.
The Eco Car Challenges are a series of exciting trials devised by Roger Saul and Kevin McCloud to showcase and test the latest in zero emissions motoring technology. Talking about the event in September Roger Saul, speaking to the London Evening Standard said
“"We want to inspire people to explore alternative transport that is more environmentally friendly. We can't keep using up the world's resources and pumping pollution into the atmosphere," he said.
"Electric cars are getting far more affordable and we will be explaining that. The government gives people [up to] £5,000 to buy an electric car [from January 2011]."
Meanwhile, Mr Saul explained that electric cars were perfect for London, because they are not subject to the congestion charge.
