[Global Network Comprehensive Report] According to foreign media reports, “Green Car Journal” recently announced five finalists in the finals of the 2019 Green Car of the Year, and announced the new year of this year. Two awards – the annual environmental SUV and the annual eco-luxury model. In this regard, officials said that the shortlist showed different forms of “green.” The winning model will be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

Among them, not only hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure battery electric vehicles, but also fuel cell vehicles, advanced diesel vehicles, and even traditional gasoline engines that use new technology to improve mileage and reduce emissions.
