London firm expands biodiesel-fuelled cars

London based Greentomatocars has expanded its fleet of environmentally-friendly private hire vehicles with the addition of biodiesel-fuelled 8-passenger MPVs and executive cars.

Complementing the existing fleet of 200 Toyota Prius, the six executive cars and fourteen MPVs will enable greentomatocars to provide an even better service for clients, without compromising on their green credentials.

After listening to clients who needed bigger vehicles for transporting larger groups of people, as well as those seeking a more executive experience from their journey, the company has been piloting the luxurious Citroen C6 and the Citroen Combi Dispatch over the past few months and has been delighted with the positive feedback.

Head of Client Services, Hamish Phillips, comments “Since we launched five-and-a-half years ago, our fleet has been exclusively comprised of the hybrid Toyota Prius, an unquestionably green choice for people travelling from A to B in London. Recent feedback from customers has shown that they needed other options but still wanted to make a consciously green decision when choosing their private hire provider. With this in mind, rather than simply bolting on a non-green solution, we wanted to maintain our green identity and biodiesel-fuelled vehicles fit this requirement perfectly.”

The non-hybrid fleet is fuelled by biodiesel refined from locally-sourced waste vegetable oil, meaning that emissions are greatly reduced in comparison to vehicles using petrol or diesel. greentomatocars has big plans for 2012 and is in discussions with a number of large clients in London to develop truly sustainable transport partnerships whereby the operator will use its clients’ waste vegetable oil to power cars for their own staff.

Mr Phillips added; “We, and our clients, find the idea of closed-loop recycling incredibly exciting – giving businesses the option of reducing their emissions by using their own waste vegetable oil to fuel cars for their own staff is a perfect way of enhancing their existing CSR plans whilst keeping their transport decisions consciously green.”

The Citroen C6 is an ideal executive vehicle. With tinted windows for added privacy, luxurious leather interiors, extended legroom and wifi on board passengers can relax whilst being transported around by a highly experienced greentomatocars chauffeur.
