On Route to the Future
The environmental segment of the Show, On Route to the Future, presented for a 6th consecutive year in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada, will feature a new look and will focus on new and upcoming technologies. Twenty exhibitors will be on hand to provide visitors with information about alternative energies and green technologies along with helpful tips on ways to efficiently reconcile the automobile with the environment.
Among the many exhibits featured in the On Route to the Future segment, you won't want to miss the North American Premier unveiling of the one and only BlueCar, manufactured by Pininfarina-Bolloré, taking place on level 7 of the Show. We invite you to discover this stunning electric car, powered by a Lithium-Metal-Polymer battery (LMP) developed by the Bolloré Group.
As well, four (4) major universities will be on hand to present their latest achievements: Polytechnique Montréal (the solar-powered Esteban), the ETS "École de technologie supérieure" (the solar-powered Eclipse), Université Laval (the Alérion Supermileage) and McGill University (Formula Hybrid, Formula SAE, Baha SAE and Electric snowmobile). Come show your support to the innovators of tomorrow!
Following their remarkable success in 2009, the MIAS Test Drives are back again! Visitors will once again have the opportunity to take one of our many alternative energy vehicles for a spin around the Palais des congrès, thus allowing them to gauge first-hand the performance of these eco-friendly automobiles.
