(ECNS) -- Some of the most desirable vehicles on earth, including Bentley Mulsanne and Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB, have been listed by Forbes.com as the environmentally "meanest" cars for 2014.
The list of least environment-friendly vehicles is populated by the biggest trucks and fastest sports cars by US and European automakers, the report said, citing an annual survey by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) .
At the top of the list is the Ram 2500 heavy-duty pickup, followed by the Bugatti Veyron sports car and the passenger version of the full-size Ford E-150 van.
Meanwhile, ACEEE also released a greenest vehicles list for 2014, where Japanese brands placed 10 out of the tops 12 cars, and the tiny two-seat Smart ForTwo Electric Drive is on top.
ACEEE determines its rankings according to a combination of factors that primarily takes into account a vehicle's fuel economy and its tailpipe emissions.
