2009 Green Car Vision Award Finalists Announced

2011 Chevrolet Volt Production Show Car

The Green Car Journal has announced the finalists for the 2009 Green Car Vision Award. The five cars that have made the finals are the Chevrolet Volt, Fisker Karma, Honda FCX Clarity, MINI E and the Mitsubishi iMiEV.

“Vehicles offering dramatically improved environmental performance are crucial to helping us move beyond today’s challenges of oil dependence and growing environmental impacts,” says Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and editor of GreenCar.com. “While not yet widely available in new car showrooms, these vehicles each inspire in important ways with their advanced powertrains, use of cleaner or more sustainable fuels, vastly improved efficiencies, or a combination of these attributes.” (Source: PR Newswire)

The Volt is on the list but in a precarious state with construction on the Volt engine production plant halted. Perhaps today’s news about financial help for General Motors and the continued recognition that the Volt is receiving will help ensure the vehicle’s success.

The winner of the 2009 Green Car Vision Award will be announced on February 3 during the Public Policy Day at the Washington Auto Show in Washington, DC.
