Brakes, Airbags, and stuff
Used Cars Website Goes To The Motor Show
Later today we will have our motor show gallery live. We had a great day at the excel centre yesterday, and met some great contacts for the used car website.
However, the highlight of the day has to go to the people at the th!nk stand, promoting their new range of cars, that are, electric powered, plastic made from recycled material, and generally a very economical option of car. The cars take 10 hours to charge, and can run for about 120 miles. ideal if you need a city run about.
However, the quote from the lady we spoke to describing the vehicle is
"it is a proper car, it has brakes, and air bags, and stuff!"
I wish I was joking!
On the whole the motor show had a huge underlying theme of fuel efficiency, and how you can save the planet, aswell as money. This has proberly been driven by the fact fuel prices are exceptionally high at present, and the pressure to reduce our carbon footprint is getting even more intense.
Many manufacturers, especially ford as mentioned before with regards the fiesta, were displaying there "eco" cars, and trying to show they are thinking about the future.
If the motor show is anything to go by, in the coming years car buyers are going to be looking for more economy, and lower carbon emissions.
