EcoVelocity will be the first UK car show to be carbon neutral. Through its partnership with Carbon Neutral Investments, EcoVelocity will offset the carbon emissions of the show by supporting a Hydro-electric project in India.

EcoVelocity is a low carbon motor show that allows visitors to learn all about the latest low carbon and zero emissions vehicles that are available in the market place today, as well as experiencing
them hands on with a test drive on a 3.5 mile route in London.

James Brown, CNI co-Chairman, said: "Having seen the success of EcoVelocity in 2011 first hand, CNI are delighted to form a new partnership for this year's event; to be held at London's ExCel centre. EcoVelovity has taken the position as the UKs major motoring show, with all the exhibitors boasting impressive low emissions in their automotive products, it's important that the organisers can demonstrate the same values. We're delighted to support EcoVelocity by offsetting the carbon emissions of the show, and also of all the visitors' travel to and from Excel over the four days - making it the UK's first carbon neutral car show."
