Green cars are not just a hippie-eco-activist stuff anymore. Major carmakers are focusing on making ECO-versions of their best models and vehicles developed especially to be environmental friendly. And they are not some weird, slow cars, running on burned cooking oil or with crazy looking gadgets all over them. Some of them are truly luxurious and some could even pass as a sport car. The new green cars are full of technological innovations that are making them more fuel-efficient and easy to drive. More and more costumers choose a green car, even if nature-friendly transportation is not on top of their priorities. Green is the new black and the ten finalists for Green Car Of 2014 are a solid proof.
Presenter of the award, the “Green Car Journal,” will announce the winner during the Washington Auto Show second Policy Day on Wednesday, January 22.
“We are proud that Green Car Journal has partnered with the Washington Auto Show to host this prestigious award, as this is the auto show where technology and innovation are paramount,” said Kevin Reilly, president of Alexandria Hyundai and chairman of the 2014 Washington Auto Show.
