Montréal Auto Show: Green Show

Environment and efficiency are operative words at the 2008 Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS), particularly with the Green Zone and the On Route to a Greener Future segment, which displays all the eco-friendly technologies currently available or under development. The biggest star is undoubtedly the Tesla, a small electric roadster from California which should hit the market in just a few months -- if all goes as planned. Expectations are high: 600 customers have already made a deposit to buy one and about 350 others have put their names on the waiting list.
