Pinoy Life On Wheels

Volvo cars have been known to be safest cars in the world, thus the most amazing innovations are available in the 2010 Volvo S60.

The recently concluded Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) was a big success. It generated sales and it renewed an interest in automotive innovation. One of the most noticeable is the PIMS theme which is “driving the green road.” True enough, there were a lot of Hybrid versions to existing models and some new ones too. I’ve been very interested in these hybrids for the longest time and at PIMS  found what I was looking for. Presenting, the Toyota Prius.

It sports a 1.8 liter gas engine but with an electric generator that powers the mechanical parts. The Prius is what is known as a Full Hybrid.

Yes, we missed them last year and now they’re back.  On August 19 to August 22, 2010 the 3rd Philippine International Motor Show will blaze trails and showcase the latest in green motoring technologies. There’s more to this year’s motor show than just the latest models. Part of the show’s attraction is to sell cars and BPI Financing has a special promo deals for people who will file their car loans during PIMS.

More on the PIMS in the coming posts.
