Innovation Under the Hood: Roanoke's Green Car Show

What is it?
Alongside Virginia Clean Cities, we are hosting an alternative fuel vehicle car show featuring the latest hybrid and electric vehicle models on the market. This will give the Roanoke community the opportunity to compare these new makes and models side-by-side. The event is intended to raise awareness of advanced vehicle technologies and increase buyer consideration of alternative fuel vehicles. 

When and where is it?
Innovation Under the Hood will be March 29, 2014, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. on the roof of the Church Ave parking garage in Roanoke, Va. In the event of inclement weather, we will move down to a covered floor of the parking garage.

We will have presentations from the Roanoke mayor's office, Virginia Clean Cities and HEVT team leaders at 11 a.m. VCC will have a very important announcement for Roanoke hybrid and EV owners, so don't miss out!

Who will be there?
All Roanoke area car dealerships and have been invited to showcase their vehicles. This will include hybrids and electric vehicles from Chevy, Nissan, Tesla, Ford, Toyota and many more! We will have all of the major alternative fuel vehicles you have been curious about.
