SAN ANTONIO, Texas (October 15, 2006). Taking an environmentally responsible stance, Advantage Rent A Car proudly announces the conversion of some of its bus fleet to compressed natural gas (CNG). CNG is a substitute for gasoline or diesel fuel and is considered to be an environmentally clean alternative. CNG is quickly becoming one of the major fuel sources in vehicles throughout the world.
Advantage’s new buses will also feature a wider entry door offering a safer entrance and exit for their passengers. Key safety highlights for this Ford E series cutaway bus includes a steel-reinforced composite body, first aid kit and fire extinguisher, assist grab handles on the left and right of the entry door and a reverse alarm. Additionally, this all new fleet of buses will sport a fresh, new design in keeping with their company wide re-imaging campaign.
"It is our commitment to provide the latest state-of-the-art features in all service levels to our customer," said George J. Gremse, Chief Executive Officer, Advantage Rent A Car. "This new fleet of shuttle buses enables us to deliver an exceptionally high standard of comfort, safety and service, another step in making it possible to give our customers an exemplary experience."
