IMIE is currently awaiting the green light for the event, which will take place from 8-11 September in partnership with Metro newspaper.

Titled EcoVelocity, it will feature the latest green models including electric, hybrid and low CO2-emitting cars from brands including Citroen, Hyundai, and Mia Electric.

Visitors will be able to take test drives on a specially-constructed circuit, watch the What Car? Catwalk parade, and take part in the SEAT young drivers programme.

Event founder and organiser Giles Brown said:  "EcoVelocity will be the most important and definitely not to be missed motoring event of the year, showcasing the best real-world cars for real-world motorists at a single location."

Event partners will include What Car?, TfL, The Mayor of London, Source London, Get On and Green Fleet.
