Mitsubishi to showcase ‘intelligent’ vehicles at EcoVelocity
Mitsubishi Motors in the UK is pleased to join IMIE and the METRO newspaper in launching the EcoVelocity motor show at Battersea Power Station in London from Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th September 2011.
EcoVelocity will feature the very best in no-compromise, low and ultra-low carbon vehicles and aims to bring to life a new world of motoring for prospective buyers who are keen to experience the latest in eco-transport.
EcoVelocity is tipped to be one of the most fun, interactive and educational days out with opportunities for all of the family. Mitsubishi Motors in the UK will showcase its green credentials with its Intelligent Motion range on display, including the first pure-electric vehicle (EV) to the UK market, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV.
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV has been well received since its launch to the UK market in December 2009. Based on the Mitsubishi i-car, which has won numerous awards for its funky, youthful, energetic design1, the i-MiEV will be available for test drives on a specially constructed circuit at the EcoVelocity venue, Battersea Power Station, London.
Other low CO2 emitting vehicles that feature in Mitsubishi’s Intelligent Motion range available on display will be the Colt supermini, the ASX compact crossover, and the Outlander medium-sized crossover.
Lance Bradley, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK’s Managing Director said: “We’re delighted to be taking part in the EcoVelocity event and have been working with organisers and partners to ensure that we highlight the practicality and importance of more efficient, cost-effective, lower carbon vehicles.”
The EcoVelocity Show is run by IMIE, the organisers of the British Motor Show, and Metro, the world’s largest free newspaper. Other event partners include What Car?, Smooth Radio, Transport for London, The Mayor of London and Source London.
Event founder and organiser Giles Brown commented: “In the absence of the British Motor Show in 2011, EcoVelocity will be the most important and definitely not to be missed motoring event of the year, showcasing the best real-world cars for real-world motorists at a single location… It is going to be of great interest to motorists learning what the industry has to offer them right now and in the future.”
Mitsubishi Motors in the UK has also teamed up with the Metro Newspaper to give a lucky reader the chance to win a brand new i-MiEV worth £23,990.2 All they need to do to enter is use the running cost calculator on the below link to see how cost effective running an i-MiEV is: /img.metro.co.uk/3rdparty/mitsubishi/index.html?ITO=mitsu_inpaper
