Can a Chauffeur Company Ever Be green?
posted by Sonya Lipps 19 weeks ago Ecochauffeur was launched in early 2006 to fill what the company perceived was a gap in the market. The company’s director Will Senior says: “We felt there was a gaping opportunity for us commercially which could also lead the way for hybrid and other alternatively-fuelled vehicles to become more commonplace in the chauffeur industry. Ecochauffeur uses Lexus GS 450h SE-L Hybrids – with huge battery packs in the boot which makes too much luggage something of a problem – rather than industry standard Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs to transport its clients. Senior says that the car averages around 25 miles per gallon, which makes it approximately 25% more cost effective on fuel and 40% more cost effective on maintenance than the industry standard S-Class Mercedes. for more information: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/business/article5107922.
