The 2009 Washington Auto Show kicks off next. The event will run from February 4 – 8 and this year’s theme is “Driven by the Environment”. In advance of the show’s start, the Green Car Journal will be announcing the winner of the 2009 Green Car Vision Award. The five finalists for the award are the Chevrolet Volt, the Fisker Karma, Honda’s FCX Clarity, the MINI E and the Mitsubishi iMieV.

One green highlight of the show is that the EcoCAR will be on display during the show.

“EcoCAR Students are designing and building advanced propulsion solutions that are based on the vehicle categories from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) regulations. Teams explore a variety of cutting-edge clean vehicle solutions, including full-function electric, range-extended electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell technologies. In addition, they will incorporate lightweight materials into the vehicles, improve aerodynamics and utilize alternative fuels such as ethanol, biodiesel and hydrogen.” (Source: Washington Auto Show)
