Share Your Car Journey To EcoVelocity

It's very likely that you are going to EcoVelocity because you want to check out the very latest in low carbon and electric vehicles, but have you thought about how you can be more environmentally responsible and reduce your carbon footprint when travelling to the show?

One way for us to reduce the total carbon footprint of the show is to reduce the number of cars travelling to EcoVelocity. That is why we have created a brand new car sharing page on our website, powered by BlablaCar, which connects drivers who have empty seats with paying passengers. So, whether you are planning to drive and have a spare seat or two in your car, or could do with a lift to the show, post your trip on here.

Increasing passenger numbers greatly increases car efficiency, particularly on long journeys, and results in a more positive impact on the environment. For example, BlablaCar users have saved an estimated 500,000 tons of CO2 since September 2009 by sharing journeys.

To use BlablaCar, drivers post details of their trip at a suggested price. Passengers find their trip thanks to the search engine. The community aspect ensures transparency, safety and that the market effectively and efficiently sets the price of each trip.

Since 2006, one billion miles have been collectively shared and over eight million passengers transported, more than half of which has happened in the last 12 months.

So, if you're planning to drive to the show, why not post your ride to EcoVelocity, share your trip with people going the same way and save some money at the same time!
