Vauxhall Gets A Prestigious Award For Being Innovative

When it comes to getting the jump on the competition, Vauxhall certainly has been able to pull that off very nicely very recently. Four days ago (on the 3rd of August 2009) an article appeared in the Vauxhall news section of Vauxhall UK’s main website that let the “cat out of the bag” both proverbially and literally about the fact that the Ampera model that Vauxhall makes received a very prestigious and important award, the Green Technology Award. This is a stunning accomplishment, one that has everyone in the industry (and all of Europe for that matter) talking about how the Ampera is the next step forward in cleaner-burning Green cars/vehicles.

If you really stop to think about what this means to the industry and the world as a whole you start to see that little by little we can, and are, making our world a much better place by cutting down on our dependence on both oil and petrol as a means of being able to get from Point A to Point B (and everywhere else in between). Although the Ampera will not actually be in production until 2011 with the very first vehicles hitting the roads in the early part of 2012, there is no doubt that the Ampera will make a huge splash when the very first models finally do hit the roads. The biggest difference between this and other electric-hybrid vehicles is that the Ampera runs on petrol when you have driven more than 40 miles (the standard mileage per battery charge).
