Toyota's innovative Prius has won the international Green Engine of the Year award.
It is the fourth time in five years Toyota's acclaimed Hybrid Synergy Drive system has won the prestigious award.
The Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive was described by the judges as 'the essence of mechanical, electric and electrical ingenuity in one affordable package'.
The judges added that the Prius hybrid is 'still the best green technology available on the market - reliable and durable, with very low real life CO[sub]2[/sub] emissions'.
Prius is Australia's greenest car, according to the Federal Government's Green Vehicle Guide, with the lowest greenhouse and air pollution emissions of any car sold in Australia.
The third-generation Prius emits just 89 grams of CO[sub]2[/sub] per km and travels 100km using only 3.9 litres of fuel*, an improvement of 11.3 per cent over the previous model.
The International Engine of the Year Awards are judged by a panel of 72 motoring journalists from 35 countries, including Australia.
