Ford Focus EV wins Green Car Vision Award
The 2012 Ford Focus Electric Vehicle is the winner of the Green Car Vision Award for 2011. Green Car Journal publisher Ron Cogan made the presentation during Public Policy Day at The
Washington Auto Show last week to Sue Cischke, Fords head of environment and safety engineering.
Cogan said the Ford Focus EV was selected for the dynamic design flexibility of its platform, which allows Ford to fit the vehicle with gasoline, electric, hybrid, or diesel power plants depending upon fueling infrastructure in the region where it is sold. The fact that this vehicle is power source agnostic is what sets it apart from the other models nominated, Cogan said.
The new Ford Focus and its variants, including the C-max minivan, go on sale here and across the U.S. in the second half of 2011.
