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.”
