There's no doubt that the Toyota Mirai deserved be awarded as the World Green Car at the New York International Auto Show last week. This futuristic vehicle's only emission is water vapor, and it can run on lemonade.
The World Car Awards program has been running since 2005, and winners are voted on by a panel of top-level automotive journalists from 23 countries. It is considered one of the most prestigious and unbiased award programs in the industry.
The Mirai was selected from an initial list of eight new vehicles, including the Toyota Prius, which came in second place.
"Just as Prius changed the world nearly 20 years ago, the hydrogen-powered Mirai is ready to make history. With a range of over 300 miles per tank, a refueling time of under five minutes, and emissions that consist only of water vapor, Mirai is leading the world forward toward a more sustainable future," says Bill Fay, Group Vice President - General Manager, Toyota Division.
