The Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle with extended range capability this week claimed The Detroit News Readers Choice Most Earth Friendly Award for being the greenest vehicle at the show. Each year, the Detroit News takes 100 readers to the North American International Auto Show at Cobo and then asks them to pick their favorites in a variety of 11 categories including the Most Earth Friendly. The Volt and other winners were announced today during a Detroit Economic Club luncheon.
The Volt is designed to drive up to 40 miles on electricity without using gasoline or producing tailpipe emissions. The onboard range extender also allows you to take longer trips without plugging in. Volt production is scheduled to begin in late 2010.
“Volt represents a cornerstone in Chevrolet’s gas-friendly to gas-free approach,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet general manager. “We are grateful that the Detroit News readers named Volt as the most earth friendly vehicle at the North American International Auto Show.”
