BMW 118d voted World GreenCar of the Year'
A JURY consisting of 47 motor journalists from 24 countries has awarded the BMW 118d with the World Green Car of the Year' at the New York International Auto Show 2008.
Judges of the World Car of the Year Awards praised BMW and its 118d for offering buyers a model with a range of innovative technologies that reduce fuel consumption and cut CO2 emissions as standard.
The three- and five-door BMW 118d record an impressive 62.8mpg on the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of just 119g/km.
BMW says the ward has cemented its position as the world's leading producer of environmentally friendly premium cars and comes swiftly after BMW received recognition for Efficient Dynamics by winning similar green' awards in the UK and abroad. What Car? and CAR magazine Green Awards' and the Fleet News Environmental Award were presented in the UK. A host of other European publications and organisations, including the coveted Auto 1 Innovation Award presented during the Geneva Motor Show, have also been bestowed on BMW.
