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.

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. +
