This exclusive offer is available only in The Detroit Newsand entriesmay be made by going to www.autoinsider.com.
"The (Detroit) News is proud to serve our community and offer an alternative green vehicle to our readers," said Jon Wolman, Editor and Publisher. "We're happy to have a longstanding partnership with the Auto Show andlookforward to the new trends and technologies that will emerge in years to come."
The BugE(TM) will be on display as part of Electric Avenue, a 37,000-square-foot feature on the main floor of the NAIAS that will showcase electric vehicles and technology. Electric Avenue debuts this year and offers patrons a chance to not only take a ride in the vehicles on display, but also learn about the next generation of green vehicles.
The BugE(TM) is a low cost, street-legal, all-electric personal mobility vehicle that is battery operated and costs about 1 penny/mile. It is an emission-free and economically savvy alternative to gasoline-fueled vehicles.
