Haynes Motor Museum’s new exhibition, ‘Transitions’, will explore the prospect of sustainable motoring and highlight the latest technologies shaping the cars of the future.
Opening on October 24, ‘Transitions’ will invite visitors to question how the future of driving might look by uncovering the materials, energy sources and innovations set to define the next generation of motoring.
The exhibition will feature a mix of written information, video content and interactive elements, creating an engaging, hands-on experience for visitors of all ages. 
A range of pioneering vehicles will be on display, from a 2019 Microlino Concept Car and a 2001 BMW C1 200 scooter to a 2016 Autonomous Range Rover Sport and a ground-breaking electric, solar-chargeable wooden car.
A hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai will showcase the potential of hydrogen technology, and a Honda Insight, based on the Honda J-VX concept car, will provide a real-world example of early hybrid development.
Visitors will gain insight into advances in fuel innovation, learning how synthetic fuels are developed and their potential role in sustainable transport.
Alongside this, the exhibition examines the rise of autonomy and debates the key challenges that remain with alternative-fuel vehicles, including battery production and the wider environmental impact.
“The Transitions exhibition is an exciting step for the Museum as we explore what the future of motoring might look like and how we might get there. Through written displays, visuals and interactive elements, we encourage visitors to form their own opinions on the road ahead,” said Mattie Geary, Collections & Exhibitions Assistant.
Opening in time for October half term, the exhibition adds to a line-up of activities for visitors of all ages. Families can enjoy exciting children’s trails and a Somerset-themed Scalextric track, while enthusiasts can join weekly talks on the Mini and cars from around the world.
