British automaker Vauxhall has demonstrated its commitment to being green at the Future Car Challenge 2012, where it won no less than three awards for its technologies.
The Ampera had no problems in finishing the 63-mile eco race from Brighton to London. But it also managed to win the Energy Efficiency Awards in "Best Car in C segment" and "Best Range Extender/Plug-in Hybrid" categories for production vehicles.
Joining it was the HydroGen4, a prototype for an electric vehicle powered by a fuel cell. The vehicle had no problems winning the title of "Best Hydrogen Fuel Cell EV".
"This is a fantastic event bringing new and future green technologies from many different areas together. It was fun to see private investors and volume manufacturers competing against each other and for Vauxhall it was a great opportunity to showcase its multi-award winning Ampera together with HydroGen4, the 4th generation of our hydrogen fuel cell technology."
