Mitsubishi i-MiEV wins 'Electric Vehicle of the Year'

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV city car has been named Electric Vehicle of the Year at the GreenFleet awards for the second year running.

The i-MiEV was praised for displaying the ‘best performance’ and ‘best suitability for purpose in its class’.

Mitsubishi Motors’ sales and marketing director, Toby Marshall, commented: “We are delighted to win this prestigious award for the second year running. We have been carrying out an extensive demonstration programme with the i-MiEV this year and we have already received a number of orders for the car, with deliveries starting in January 2011.

The i-MiEV is part of a growing portfolio of environmentally-efficient Mitsubishi models. The Colt ClearTec was joined this year by the new ASX ClearTec, boasting new technologies that reduce its CO₂ emissions, and we look forward to announcing new initiatives in the near future.”
