Shah Rukh Khan's green move
This year the big buzz at the Delhi Auto Expo has been about small and green cars given the concerns over climate change and gas guzzling cars.
Shah Rukh Khan launched a green version of Hyundai's i10 car in New Delhi at the ongoing Auto Expo. Hyundai Motors India Ltd, which is India's second largest car manufacturer, unveiled their electric car during the 2010 Auto Expo.
Hours before the launch the star, who has just joined the Twitter, posted an 'ironic' tweet: "Got to go have a flight to catch. Taking a jet plane.. travel in a motorcade and launch an environmentally friendly I 20 Hyundai car. Ironic."
The i10 Electric which made its debut to the Indian audience in October 2007, was also showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show in mid September this year.
In place of the 1.1 or 1.2 litre petrol engines which power the Hyundai i10, in India and overseas, the i10 Electric will be powered by a 49kW (66.6 PS) electric motor under the hood and driving its front wheels.
Hyundai Motor India already has a strong line-up of alternate fuel technology like: Santro CNG & LPG, Accent CNG & LPG and i10 CNG in India. The unveiling of the i10 Electric further reconfirms Hyundai's commitment to develop environmentally friendly cars for the global automobile market.
Apart from the current product line-up, Hyundai Motor India pavilion will also display its futuristic technology in the form of concept cars.
