This year’s Geneva International Motor Show at Geneva Palexpo marks the beginning of spring in Europe with a host of innovations and new car models scintillating the pavilion. The auto show was started in 1905 and since then it’s held every year during March in Geneva.

The first and significant auto show of Europea will display about 120 new car models this year that are speculated to make their debut in the global market in a couple of years. The most striking part of this year edition is the green theme that will display a host of ecological and economical models. Infact most of the car manufacturers are set to introduce their unique green concepts to woo reluctant car buyers.

It’s amazing to know that it’s the first time in the history of Geneva Motor Show that the show has turned one of its seven exhibition hall just to showcase the eco-friendly cars. Fiat, Renault, and Volkswagen are placing smaller and more economical petrol and diesel engines under the bonnet of their striking car models.

General Motors that is presently undergoing a tough crisis is also set to display the electric version of the Ampera sedan. And a new car manufacturer Tesla will unveil an all-electric sports car that can run from 0 – 100 km/h in 4 seconds. Even Bentley has entered green revolution with 461kW and 12 cylinders engineered car driven by both biofuel and petrol.

With this exhilarating show round the corner, all car manufacturers are expecting a reverse gear in plunging sales, lay-offs, and plant closures.
