Detroit, MI - December 18, 2009 - Media,
government officials, the global auto industry and the public will
see fresh exhibits highlighting "green" technology at the 2010
NAIAS. The show marks the debut of Electric Avenue presented by The
Dow Chemical Company on the main show floor, a 37,000 square-foot
area dedicated to showcasing the latest in electronic vehicles and
technology.
"NAIAS is proud of the history we have in bringing innovative
ideas to a world-wide audience, and the all-new Electric Avenue is
going to show visitors from around the globe where the future of
automotive technology is headed," said Doug Fox, chairman, 2010
NAIAS. "This effort allows for more than doing what is trendy by
addressing a necessary think-tank of discussion that will dictate
where the global auto industry will go in 2010 and beyond. The
NAIAS is proud to have a sponsor such as The Dow Chemical Company
that understands the value of these efforts. Its endorsements of
this activity allow the show to continue to be a thought-provoking
leader to an industry with significant worldwide and economic
impact."
This new feature is set to dovetail perfectly with the returning
Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) EcoXperience in
Michigan Hall that will once again feature a quarter-mile track
winding through a landscape designed after Michigan's natural
beauty.
