82nd Geneva Motor Show: Ecological Transportation featured at the Green Pavilion

3 years ago, the Geneva International Motor Show was the first international automobile show to have a section dedicated specifically to the theme of alternative and ecological transportation, propulsion technologies and renewable fuel sources: The Green Pavilion. From the start, visitors could find highly qualified small enterprises and start-ups who were presenting their innovative visions of the future of individual transportation. And now the major auto manufacturers are also taking advantage of this occasion to present their latest concepts in this area. The Green Pavilion can be found in the Parc Sarasin, just opposite the main entrance to Palexpo, where the Geneva International Motor Show will be held from March 8-18, 2012.

In 2009, well before the world economic crisis, the Geneva International Motor Show created the Green Pavilion and hence became THE international motor show focussing on developing ecological transportation technologies of the future.

For its first edition, the Green Pavilion featured exclusively highly qualified and specialist enterprises, institutes, and start-up groups, who could take advantage of this occasion to present the latest fruits of their research to the general public in the framework of a global exposition. They could also develop their relationships with the automobile manufacturers exhibiting at the Motor Show. In the meantime, these constructors recognise this opportunity to present to the public their latest prototypes which are ready for mass production. The test drives available at the nearby Green Tests area contributed significantly to the success of the Pavilion’s concept.

For the 82^nd edition of the Geneva International Motor Show the Green Pavilion and the Green Tests will move to the Parc Sarasin, the entry of which is just facing the main entrance of Palexpo. Access to the Green Pavilion is included in the main ticket for the Motor Show, and it will open its doors one hour ahead for the opening of the rest of the Show, at 9:00 a.m. on weekdays and at 8:00 a.m. on the weekends.

The 82^nd Geneva International Motor Show will be open to the public from March 8-18, 2012.
