greentravelguides.tv takes to the highways this summer to test drive the new Smart electric car. During the next year, we’ll be taking part in a pilot scheme to put the prototype Smart car through its paces on British roads. greentravelguides.tv boss Steve Hills says: “We want to find out whether or not this new electric vehicle is practical for travelling around the countryside as well as an everyday runabout.” Steve Hills collected the car this week from Transport Advisor to the Mayor of London, Kulveer Ranger.
