Avis car hire customers ‘to drive green Golfs’
Avis
car hire customers may find themselves driving a low-carbon automobile after the company ordered a further 540 of them for their fleet.
The Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion will form part of the Avis Eco Collection, which will allow individuals the opportunity to drive environmentally-friendly vehicles.
Nick Mountfield, head of marketing at Avis UK, noted that the nation is becoming increasingly conscious of the need to watch and reduce emissions.
He added: "These Golf models are a desirable package for both Avis and our customers as, despite being extremely efficient and economical, they are conventional to drive and offer superb value and reliability."
The Golf emits just 99 g/km of CO2, while the manufacturer also offers BlueMotion versions of the Polo and Passat, which produce 91 and 114 g/km of CO2 respectively.
It was recently announced that car hire customers and other drivers may be seen in greener vehicles after the government revealed it is investing £3.5 million in biogas.
