Oct. 14, 2014—Green Car Journal has announced five finalists for the Green Truck of the Year award that will be presented at the 2014 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show on Nov. 6.
The Green Truck of the Year award recognizes trucks that raise the bar in environmental performance and are available to consumers in January of the award year. The finalists include the Chevrolet Colorado, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon, Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, and Ram 1500 HFE.
"The significant efficiency and environmental improvements being made in the truck segment signal an important change in the industry," Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the award-winning Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com, said in a release. "Better environmental performance has been a high-profile part of the auto industry for some time, but trucks have not enjoyed the same attention as passenger cars. These five finalists show that environmental improvement in the truck world is changing in a very big way."
