Canada : Smart Car selects T-shirts to create environment consciousness
World's largest hemp T-shirt apparel brand and seller Hemptown tee shirts has been chosen by Smart Car twice in the last year as their official club collectible. On behalf of its members, the car club has purchased hemp and bamboo tee shirts with artwork depicting their favorite automobile, the Smart Car. "The club called them because they wanted a tee-shirt that was as sound for the environment as their Smart Cars," said Hemptown Clothing CEO Jerry Kroll. "They wish every company and organization in North America thought like the Smart Car Club does: 'How can their official clothing and gifts make a smaller environmental footprint?'" Petroleum and cotton based textiles have high environmental costs and are not sustainable for their future. Hemp, Bamboo and Soy are highly environmentally sensitive, grown organically without the use of pesticides, toxic fertilizers or the enormous fresh water irrigation required by cotton. Club Smart Car member Dr Kirk Finnis: "Smart Car owners have a great affinity for their cars and they love talking about how practical they are - the small size, ease of parking and environmentally friendly. It seemed natural to them that they would seek out an official club tee-shirt that was just as practical and easy on the environment." Hemptown's Jerry Kroll continues: "The rise of hybrid and eco-friendly automobiles like the Smart Car perfectly mirrors what Hemptown is all about.

New Kahn Smart Wheel Available from late Feb
What would it mean to take a Smart Car, a derived icon of narrow European streets — and convince Afzal Kahn to design a ‘Smart’ wheel?
Well; according to Afzal Kahn: British masculinity is defined by two ideals: size and speed. The rogue hormone known as testosterone thrives not only on horsepower but also on style.
In other words: Afzal Kahn did not need any convincing.
Note the date: Feb 20th 2009, Project Kahn will be releasing their latest product:
The cleverly evolved new ‘Smart RSL Wheel’ (Bright Silver Paint) by Project Kahn wheels gives the Smart Car a fresh and masculine appearance whilst retaining its unmistakable character.
Complete with maximum agility, safety and ecology, the stunning Kahn 6.5x17 – 7X17 Wheel bestows an aura style and self-expression.
Kahn, who has carved an international reputation for applying old-world craftsmanship and the finest materials to turn standard cars into bespoke works of art said: “Project Kahn is facing up to what now seems to be increasingly well-established trends towards smaller, more fuel-efficient cars for personal transport.
“We have successfully steered products and services towards high end users for many years. However, we are confident; the new Smart wheel will delight select consumers who own distinctively styled Smart cars throughout the world.
“Look out for a fresh body styling kit and number of exciting Smart related products in the coming weeks and months ahead.”
Kahn has designed wheels, interiors and body kits for Range Rover, Aston Martin and Bentley amongst others.
And recently, he received much acclaim for adding his bespoke touch to the SsangYong Rexton R-Line - so enthusiastically received by visitors to the SsangYong British motor show stand, that distributors Koelliker UK, had no hesitation in adding it to their range.
Our elegant and sculpted alloy wheel designs are evolved through skilled artistic innovation and state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology.
Project Kahn’s innovative manufacturing process, luxurious materials and components are without equal; the seductive blend of refinement will no doubt satisfy the most demanding customers.
Notes:
It is our duty at Project Kahn to predict and outmaneuver the market in which we operate, releasing products to satisfy even the most demanding of customers. So feel free to visit
