The ecoENERGY for Vehicles Awards are presented each model year to the manufacturers of the most fuel-efficient new vehicles. The vehicles are ranked based on a series of tests that simulate 20,000 kilometres of driving, 55 percent of which is city driving and 45 percent of which is highway driving.
