Chevrolet Volt Declared 2011 World Green Car (GM)

At a press conference hosted by Bridgestone Corporation and the New York International Auto Show, the Chevrolet GM Volt was declared the 2011 World Green Car. The Chevrolet Volt was chosen from an initial entry list of twelve new vehicles from all over the world, then a short list of ten, then three finalists: the Chevrolet Volt, the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition and the Nissan Leaf. "The selection of the Volt as the World Green Car is a further proof point of the fuel efficient technologies that are now being offered by the Chevrolet brand around the world," said Rick Schiedt, Vice President of Chevrolet Marketing. "This award, and the others that have preceded it, validate the efforts of the development team to build a truly remarkable vehicle with the potential to transform transportation around the globe."
