BMW stand-out winners of the Greenest Car Manufacturer of the Year Award

Towards the end of this current eventful year of outstanding progress in green car manufacturing, it is fitting that Green-Car-Guide.com, itself having successfully made great strides in its own development, should make the Award to a manufacturer, in these terms:"we feel there is one manufacturer in particular who deserves special credit for making an amazing effort to bring more efficient cars to market, across a range of models... In the January 2008 version, available on our site today, the same manufacturer has an incredible 12 cars in the guide out of a total of 68." That outstanding manufacturer is BMW.

Commenting on the award, Mark Harrison, BMW’s Corporate Communications Manager, said: “BMW is very proud of our EfficientDynamics technologies. The successes of both our BMW and MINI brands are built on the fact that they are great to drive, rewarding to own, and have strong design and engineering foundations. It is vital for both us, and many UK car buyers, that our environmental developments do not reduce those values. As a company, we have been working on hydrogen power, fuel-efficient engines and the introduction of lightweight technologies for over 20 years. The recent introduction of EfficientDynamics features brings our work to today's roads. It offers fuel consumption and emissions levels comparable to, and in some cases better than, today's hybrids, but retains the dynamic qualities that one would expect of both BMWs or MINIs. We are pleased that Green-Car-Guide.com has recognised our work and we are committed to remaining as a leading car manufacturer in the battle to reduce emissions and fuel consumption.”

Roll-on 2008!

About itself the Green-Car-Guide.com said:"For ourselves, 2007 has been a phenomenal year. Our site was only launched in September 2006, but in the last year we’ve been on TV, on the radio, worked with a variety of the national media, we’ve given talks about green cars at numerous events around the UK, and we’ve had around one million page views of our site."
