The European Car of the Year runs on electricity!

Electric or hybrid cars have the wind in their sails at the moment. An encouraging development when we consider the extent to which urgent action is required to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, reduce atmospheric pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

In the field of automobiles, green technology is winning over more and more consumers. Many manufacturers have developed so-called "zero emission" vehicles.

It is the first time that an electric car has picked up the title.
