RAM 1500 EcoDiesel Wins 2015 Green Truck of the Year™

Green Car Journal has awarded its 2015 Green Truck of the Year™ honor to the RAM 1500 EcoDiesel, a powerful pickup that offers an advanced, fuel-efficient diesel engine in the light-duty truck segment.

Presented at the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show, the Green Truck of the Year™ program recognizes important environmental achievements in the popular pickup truck field.

Along with its towing, hauling, and people-handling capabilities, the RAM 1500 EcoDiesel focuses on efficiencies with active aerodynamics including grill shutters that close for less drag at highway speeds.

Other efficiency measures like an eight-speed automatic transmission and an air suspension system that lowers the truck at higher speeds are also used to optimize fuel economy and achieve lower greenhouse gas emissions.

“The RAM 1500 EcoDiesel is America’s most fuel efficient pickup with a highway rating of 28 mpg,” said Bob Hegbloom, President and CEO-RAM Truck Brand.
