This year's London Motor Show will be the first to include a dedicated, environmentally-themed exhibition showcasing the latest carbon-cutting innovations and other 'greener' travel options. The 'Greener Driving Pavilion', which is being set up in association with the Government's 'ACT ON CO2' initiative and supported by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, What Car? and Michelin, will form a part of the Motor Show which begins at London's ExCel arena on July 22nd.

The Greener Driving Pavilion, sponsored by Cooperative Insurance, will be an interactive showcase including not only an exhibition, but also providing the opportunity for discussion and education.

The What Car? Green Awards will take place alongside the Greener Driving Pavilion . Taking place on Press Day (July 22), the awards will celebrate the leaders in the development and application of environmental driving technologies.

This Motor Show will also feature the 'Electric Vehicle Village' in conjunction with the Greener Driving Pavilion. The Electric Vehicle Village will showcase more than 20 vehicles which are propelled solely by battery power. Current and future electric models will be displayed from manufacturers including G-Wiz, NICE Car Company, Quiet Cars, Tesla, Smart and Nissan. Elektromotive will also be demonstrating the on-street charging Elektrobays.
