road-trip

Oxford – London, Saturday 18 August 2012 - Invited journalists and special guests will put new technology and services to the test on an everyday journey from Oxford to London in the sixth annual Eco-Rally - organised by Revolve.

Ace Cafe London will host the pit-stop and act as the start-line of the inner-city leg of the 2012 Eco-Rally on Saturday 18 August 2012. Expect to see an eclectic mix of green machines and kit cars on display all morning until the main convoy arrives from Oxford.

Along with plenty of excitement and an incredible atmosphere, the Olympic Games will bring thousands of visitors to London and the UK. This means the transport system will be extremely busy so it’s important to plan and book your journey well in advance.

On Saturday 18 August, the sixth annual Eco-Rally will showcase a wide range of future transport services and vehicles from some of the world's leading automakers and innovative new start-ups. Many will be driven by familiar faces setting off in convoy from Oxford to London via the legendary Ace Cafe - proving that modern, eco-friendly cars, bikes and vans can get us from "A to B without the three Cs" (carbon, cost & congestion).

The event includes exciting new product launches from the likes of Ford, Zero Motorcycles and Rieju, plus mobility services and amazing fleet vehicles. City transport will be a hot topic in London during the 2012 Olympic Games and now the UK Government's Plug-in Car and Plug-in Van grants make zero emission transport even more affordable.

With the summer-term breaks getting underway, millions of families across the UK are preparing to pack up and get set for long car journeys as they hit the road on holidays. More...
