LA Auto Show Presents More Than 50
Electric, Hybrid and Alternative Fuel Vehicles
LOS ANGELES - With a continued
focus on economic and environmental concerns, manufacturers are
increasingly focused on high-mileage and low emission vehicles.
The 2010 LA Auto Show will feature more than 50 electric,
hydrogen fuel-cell electric, hybrid, clean diesel and natural
gas vehicles, all providing viable solutions for cleaner
transportation.
This year's show also marks the
historic arrival of the modern electric car era. After years of
anticipation, consumers can finally own mass-produced electric
vehicles. The first two highly anticipated vehicles to kick-off
this modern era of electric transportation include Chevrolet's
range extended electric Volt and Nissan's battery electric LEAF.
A dozen more electric drive vehicles will be featured at the
show. More than half of the production vehicles on display will
be for sale in the coming year, and others are forward looking
concepts that will map out how electric transportation will
progress in the future.
With new green concepts and
production vehicles from at least 20 manufacturers, consumers
have a greater selection of low-emission, high-mileage vehicles
to choose from than ever before. Hybrids still represent the
largest volume of "green" vehicles including the popular Toyota
Prius, Honda Civic and Ford Fusion hybrids, and KIA plans unveil
its first hybrid, the Optima sedan.
