ll With all of the main car manufacturers beginning to put out a wide range of elec- tric and plug in hybrid models, and high-end makers using hybrid technology to make their supercars even faster and more economical, it se- ems fitting that we consider adapting to this almost certa- in motoring future.


Can tax breaks and govern- continued on next page...


ment grants ensure the costs are cut enough to make the leap possible for the average consumer?


Are we going to see elec-


tric cars scooting around East Kilbride in large numbers any time soon?


There are a whole load of cars out there now that are classed as 'Eco cars'. Let's ta- ke a look at a sampling of cars throughout the price brackets. Don't drool.

25 Could This Be The Perfect EK Eco?


THE ECO CONSCIOUS CAR REVOLUTION is fast taking over the motoring world. It's time East Kilbride started to get a taste of the carbon-free air.


Why Renault's TWIZY makes us take note


ll This cheap little bundle of fun could be the number one way to save cash if your daily travels only inclu- de nipping to the shopping centre through the day (or really anything that falls within the projected 60 miles range). Even with heavy non-eco use the little two seater will still make a good range of 30 miles. With its small stature and the tiny footprint (weighing in at under 500 kg), the TWIZY will be a doddle through multi-story car- parks. If its taking the dog to the park or nipping round for a loaf of bread, this cheap solution is a no- brainer. This zero carbon quadricycle really does give us a glimpse of the future.
