Scottish eco-award win for BMW

BMW has won two accolades at the Scottish Car of the Year Awards 2009, voted for by the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW).

The Z4 picked up the award for Scottish Drop Top of the Year 2009, and BMW was also crowned the winner in the Eco category for its EfficientDynamics programme.

The BMW EfficientDynamics programme was first introduced in 2007 and incorporates a wide variety of fuel-saving and emissions-reducing measures across the whole vehicle range as standard.

EfficientDynamics technology includes Auto Start-Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration and Active Aerodynamics, among a range of other features.

Bill Caven, president of the ASMW, said: “Different manufacturers have created different solutions to provide cleaner, more efficient motoring, but BMW, with its EfficientDynamics programmes, has certainly provided a breath of fresh air in making us more aware of what clean should mean.”
