The British Motor Show’s sustainable commitment
The British Motor Show continues its commitment to be the greenest show of its type, ever.
Here at The British Motor Show we recognise that sustainable motoring is key to the future of transport. We aim to help educate and encourage our visitors to consider more sustainable ways to drive. We want to showcase a range of solutions that all car drivers and car fans can consider to reduce their carbon footprint and improve their sustainability, while continuing to enjoy their classic cars.
But we’re not just encouraging others. We will be putting our money where our mouth is, all vehicles associated with the show, from our shuttle buses to the display and test drive cars will be running on Coryton Sustain, a sustainable c02 neutral fuel.
Coryton Sustain powers the British Motor Show
Coryton will again be the Official Fuels Partner to the show and will be supplying all of the petrol and diesel for the British motor show’s cars – including those used in the live test drives, live arena and shuttle buses, as well as those used by the show organisers
Sustain by Coryton is focused on developing sustainable fuels that push for net zero impact. Its second generation biodiesel and bio-gasoline utilises agricultural waste products and can reduce carbon emissions by over 80%
Pre-event sustainability project
When it comes to sustainable car choices, most folk wouldn’t think of a 5.0-litre V8 muscle car, but The British Motor Show has about to changing perceptions, and educating the public that there are ways be a greener driver, if you can’t make the switch to EV yet.
As well as using Coryton fuel, the Sustainable V8 Project Mustang has also be run on sustainable oils, use eco tyres and will be maintained using reusable service parts or second-life spare parts when needed as part of our partnership with eBay.
Dedicated EV Zone and Partnerships
With Ev undoubtedly being a huge part of all of our motoring futures, we have partnered with some of the biggest brands in automotive to bring the latest cars and charging technology to the show.
