SEARCHSGI is an automotive metric that reflects the relationships between perceived quality plus overall value and “green” issues.
Strategic Vision unveils the new SmartGreen Index (SGI) which reflects the relationships between perceived quality plus overall value and "green" issues, such as fuel economy and environmental friendliness.
