‘The Sexy Green Car Show’ (SXCS) will be based on eco-friendly concepts and designs, trying to convince people that the products on show will have some relevance to how they live their lives.
Major car brands expected to be present include Vauxhall, Ford, Volkswagen, and Smart, each with their display of cars and products .
One of the companies most looking forward to the event are Saab . The car manufacturers aim to use the show as an opportunity to demonstrate its innovative BioPower flex-fuel engines, which are now available within all Saab models, making them the only volume car company in Britain able to provide this.
Saab will also be showcasing the Saab 9-3 Convertible BioPower, and a Saab 9-5 Estate BioPower car . The BioPower cars are flex-fuel, meaning that they can run on the eco-friendly yet potent fuel source bioethanol E85, standard unleaded petrol, or any mix of the fuels.
Citroen will have a selection of their C1, C2 and C3s on display, while Vauxhall will be displaying their 1.3 CDTi turbo diesel engine, which was used in the new Tigra and Corsa .
