One-week exhibition organised together with AVERE (European Road Vehicle Association), Citelec (European Association of Cities interested in Electric Vehicles) and with the support of the electricity supply industry in the Palais de l’Europe, Strasbourg.

Commissioner Neil Kinnock, the mayor of Strasbourg as well as 200 MEPs took part in the event whose objective was twofold: demonstrate that electric cars have reached technological maturity and thus constitute a rapidly viable option for European cities to make traffic and individual mobility more compatible with the environment, and raise the awareness for the need to support its breakthrough by political initiatives and legislation.
