Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, who first started the museum in 1952, says: "The National Motor Museum is proud of its association with record breaking cars and they always attract a lot of attention because it is very rare that members of the public can get up close to them."
Organised by Eco-Motorsport Ltd, the two-day event will feature a 600m circuit with live electric vehicle (EV) demonstrations. There will be displays of the latest electric and hybrid cycles, cars and motorbikes and an exhibition of companies foremost in the sustainable vehicle industry. In addition, there will be a full programme of seminars and debates about all aspects of e-motor sport and of the development of low carbon and EVs as city transport.
Sustainable MotoExpo 2013 will build on the success of last year's event held on Cheltenham promenade, which attracted more than 10,500 visitors and was attended by The Rt Hon Dr Vince Cable MP, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills and by Robert Llewellyn of Red Dwarf TV series fame and presenter of the Fully Charged online show.
Over the two days there will be a full programme of seminars and debates in the 200-seat, fully-equipped auditorium, atrium and breakout rooms to which leading authorities in future motor sport design, media, manufactures and industry have been invited. The two days will include various debates with competing teams from a number of universities, members of the public and high profile industry guests arguing the motion: "This House believes that the electric powerchain lies at the heart of future global motorsport".
