Electric cars set to hit Paris roads pictures


PARIS: Paris will on Sunday launch an ambitious electrically powered car-share service that it hopes will not only improve the quality of life in the City of Lights but also herald a revolution in sustainable urban transport.

But the “Autolib” venture also constitutes a risky gamble both for Bertrand Delanoë, the Socialist mayor of Paris, and for Vincent Bolloré, France’s best-known corporate raider and buccaneering entrepreneur, who is supplying the electric cars and operating the new service.

In the volatile French pre-electoral political climate, Mr Delanoë hopes to repeat with the electric car project the huge popular and political – albeit costly – success of the Vélib bicycle-sharing scheme, which he launched four years ago.

Upcoming Small Cars In India In 2011

Volkswagen Golf

Being rumored to be right around the corner for quite sometime now, VW will not be launching Golf anytime sooner than late December, which again means a wait till 2011 to see this beauty on the roads. We do not wish to decipher Golf for you as every enthusiast of motoring knows it quite well and if you are a gamer, then you may have even driven it around virtually.

 

Hyundai i30

The first major launch of the year will be Hyundai’s i30. Hyundai has been generous enough to bring both i10 and i20 early to India for the launch, but when it came to the i30, things were a bit different. The car has been around for sometime in Europe and was first launched in 2007. We hope this new car makes a good impact in India, where both i10 and i20 have achieved enormous success. The i30 has numerous accolades to its name including the title of being the most satisfying car 2010 in Britain and best family hatch of 2009 in New Zealand.
