The Green Car Awards for 2015 have been announced. Oddly enough there are a number of diesel engines on the list. This is likely due to the fact that European legislation is focused on CO2 emissions as a measuring tool.
Here are the winners for each of the categories. Notice that the Jaguar XE 2.0d won the Executive (mid-sized sedan) Award.
