GREEN PAVILION – Exhibition of the technologies of tomorrow
In the “Green Pavilion” the visitor will discover the history, the present and the future of “green mobility”. Some 10 exhibitors – well known manufacturers, small but highly qualified companies, research and development institutes – from Switzerland, Germany, Croatia and Finland will present the whole line up of alternative form of propulsion.
Based on last years’ experiences, the display of the Green Pavilion has been slightly modified. The
exhibitors will not only present their technologies on a stand, but also explain them in detail via video
projections.

Half a dozen exhibitors took the opportunity to invite their visitors to a test drive in a prototype that might already be on our roads after tomorrow.
