Shades of green at the North American international auto show
Source: Environment News Service (ENS)
Clean and green is the buzz at this year's North American International Auto Show at Cobo Hall with major automakers showing their latest greener concept cars, comparisons of fuel economy for flex-fuel cars, and the announcement that the American Le Mans Series is going an extra green mile on the racing circuit.
But not everyone is sold. 'The green theme at this year's North American International Auto Show is window dressing,' said Jodie Van Horn of the nonprofit Rainforest Action Network. 'The environmental rhetoric coming out of the last two years of 'eco' auto shows does not reflect true vehicle production. The industry's goal has been to fool consumers into believing that automakers are producing eco-conscious cars. Nothing could be further from the truth.'
The show is open to media and to the industry this week, and members of the public will be welcome to judge for themselves starting Saturday through January 27.
Honda is showing the FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle, which debuted in November at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The FCX Clarity will be available by lease to a limited number of retail consumers in Southern California with the first deliveries taking place in summer 2008.
