<p>Imports led the majority of the government&#8217;s green car purchases last year, with 54 percent of the nearly 1,800 green vehicles purchased by the federal government coming from Hyundai, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Honda. The federal government&#8217;s most-purchased hybrid wasn&#8217;t a Big Three product either. Instead, it was the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.</p>
<p><span id="more-472949"></span></p>
<p>Sales of green vehicles were down for the third year in a row, while the almost-exclusively domestic fleet has grown to feature far more imports.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-09/obama-green-fleet-shows-ford-loses-to-hyundai-hybrids.html">Bloomberg</a> outlines the breakdown of the government&#8217;s green fleet below</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The GSA purchases in fiscal 2012 included 904 Sonata hybrids, followed by 372 Fusion hybrids, with General Motors Co.’s Chevrolet Volt plug-in electric model accounting for 163 purchases. The Sonata purchases represented 5.1 percent of the hybrid’s model’s U.S. sales for 2012.</em></p>
<p><em>The GSA purchased about 300 other hybrids from GM and Ford as well as five Toyota Prius hybrids and three of Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV electric car. The GSA also reported buying 49 Honda Civics powered by compressed natural gas that are built in Greensburg, <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/indiana/">Indiana</a>.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The Korean-built Sonata Hybrid unseated the Ford Fusion Hybrid as the previous champion of federal fleet sales. But with a new Fusion Hybrid and the C-Max now available, 2013 could look different.</p>
