The 2013 Next Green Car Awards winners were announced today, the most scientifically-based Green Car Awards in the UK. This year cars competed in 8 vehicle categories, including the 'Next Generation' Award that includes new models, close to the market launch.
The awards were handed out to a select group of 8 cars out of 26 that were initially proposed, based on their level of innovation, value, drive experience and design.
"The 2013 winners reflect two key elements underlying current green car development: drive-train electrification and continuing improvements in fuel efficiency. While all the winners are highly distinctive in the innovations they employ, they all excel at using new technologies to enhance the driver experience," Dr. Ben Lane, Managing Editor of Next Green Car said.
BMW's own i3 was the winner in two categories. First up, the city-car won the 2013 Supermini Award for being "set to change what we expect and demand of an electric urban vehicle; one that maximizes electrification, connectivity, quality and driving performance.”
The second prize claimed by the EV was the 2013 City-Car award. In this regard, Suzanne Grey, General Manager BMW i said: "We believe the BMW i3 is a real game changing vehicle because it has been born electric. Being designed from the ground up to be an electric vehicle has resulted in a number of benefits in terms of weight, packaging, range, emissions and driving dynamics."
