Hyundai has unveiled a three-week-long 'Brilliant Kids Motor Show' which showcases the best designs from a competition it held for school children. Children were tasked with thinking up ideas about sustainability, positive impact environmental measures and clean energy sources. Of over 5000 entries from schools around the country, only the top eight were chosen after a rigorous selection process by Hyundai and an independent jury.
The chosen ideas were converted into life-sized models which will be displayed at the Ambience Mall in Gurugram till 4 December 2018. The models include innovative ideas like an ocean-cleaning car, an electric vehicle powered by both solar and wind energy, an eco-friendly car that runs on plastic and absorbs carbon-dioxide too, and a litter-cleaning car which uses the waste to power itself. The children will also be given a tour of Hyundai's factory in Chennai.
