What is this Show??

The International Geneva Motor Show (French: Salon International de l'Auto) is an annual auto show held in March in the Swiss city of Geneva. The show is hosted at the Geneva Palexpo, a
convention center located next to the Geneva Cointrin International Airport. The Salon is organised by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, and is considered an important major international auto show.

First held in 1905, the Salon has hosted almost all major internal combustion engine models in the history of the automobile, along with benzene- and steam-powered cars from the beginning of the century. Exotic super cars often steal the spotlight during their debuts at the show. Prototypes, new equipment, technical breakthroughs, international partnerships, as well as political and social debates, have been announced at the exhibition. The show is regarded as a level playing field for the world's automakers, aided by the fact Switzerland lacks an auto industry of its own.

Green Vision:

When the automobiles run on the street the by product that they leave is very harmful for environment that we live in. So in a attempt to make the cars more cleaner and safer for environment, the car makers come up with alternatives to petroleum driven cars and bring more innovative versions of the vehicles.
This year many car makers introduced their Hybrid models(Driven by Petroleum and Electricity both) , Fully Electric models , Fuelcells and even CNG driven models. So you guys can expect a cleaner drive in coming years.
