Drivers to view future eco cars

Drivers hoping to get a glimpse of the possible vehicles of the future would find it an interesting experience to visit the Eden Project.

The Sexy Green Car Show, begins today and runs until May 31st at the Eden Project in Cornwall.

Overall 33 vehicles can be viewed at the show, one of which is Morgan's futuristic hydrogen LIFECar, which will be making its UK debut at the venue.

And with the current rising costs of fuel at the petrol pumps, the future may see a rise in the number of drivers seeking out a more environmentally-friendly vehicle to cut down on their motoring costs.

Show director Gus Grand said: "The way fuel is going it looks like greener cars are here to stay.

"Cars are an extraordinary piece of technology, but they have never before been sold on efficiency."

All drivers of eco-cars are warned not to use a mobile phone while driving after comments from the AA found that anyone fined for using a phone on the road may now receive higher car insurance quotes as the yare deemed as an extra risk.
