The Green Vehicles that Rocked the Bologna Auto Show
Published: 20-Dec-2007
With a total of around 15 million alternate-fuel cars running on European roads today, the buyers seem to have been evolving with the advent of fuel technology. Take the case of Italy, the country has over 18, 00, 000 gas fuelled cars on its roads and the numbers seem to be increasing by the day. In the 32nd Bologna Motor Show, the agenda was on environment friendly cars and technologies. Italy is the world leader when it comes to running cars in LPG and natural gas, and this the precise reason why almost all the major Italian car manufacturers showcased vehicles that ran on alternate fuels. Other than the environment issue, skyrocketing furl prices have also pushed the manufacturers to look at alternate fuels.
Almost all the car manufacturers have displayed their latest green cars along with various environment friendly concepts vehicles. Apart from having a look at each one of them, we also got the opportunity to test drive few of these green cars...and it was a mind-boggling experience. Here we present to you all environment friendly cars that adorn the Bologna motor show this year.
BMW X6 Active Hybrid Concept: BMW's Concept X6 Active Hybrid is the centre of attraction and by a good margin. Though it shares the look of its body with that of Concept X6, this hybrid concept still seems to be visually different from it. The new X6 Active Hybrid boasts of a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain co-developed with General Motors, Chrysler, and Daimler-Benz.
