"The Ford F-150 is honoured with the 2015 Green Car Technology Award for its milestone use of an all-aluminium body that takes light-weighting to new levels in the pickup field, enabling the all-new 2015 F-150 model to shed up to 700lb for greater efficiency and performance," the show organizers said in a statement.
The BMW, a plug-in hybrid sports car has a dual chassis made of aluminium and carbon fiber bagged the award beating other cars in the category including Tesla Model S and the Audi A8.
