Green Motion Confirms Its Support of The Green Car Guide Live Show 2008

MILTON KEYNES – June 27, 2008: Thursday 22nd May saw the UK’s largest dedicated green vehicle motor show arrive in Liverpool. The event promoted by the Green Car Guide saw motor manufacturers and environmentally focused automotive operations present their latest innovations and services.

Exhibiting were motor manufacturers including BMW with their EfficientDynamic range, Volkswagen with their Polo and Golf Bluemotion models and Citroen with their low CO2/stop and start C1, C2, C3 and C4.

The show welcomed many large organisations including Tesco and British Telecom who are focused on reducing their company’s carbon footprint.

Green Motion – Europe’s first fully environmentally friendly vehicle rental company - took the opportunity to promote its latest eco initiative – you rent a car, we plant a tree. Not satisfied with offering its customers a choice of vehicles that boast the latest in low CO2 and fuel saving technologies and adhering to its own all embracing environmental policy, Green Motion has taken a further step in its environmental evolution.

To promote its new tree planting initiative, each visitor to the Green Car Guide Live 2008 show was presented with a live evergreen oak sapling which offset the emissions associated to each journey made to the show.

Green Motion also featured its flagship eco vehicle, the Polo Bluemotion, which boasts the lowest CO2 of any standard vehicle of 99g/km.
