SUSTAINABILITY

We're committed to fostering innovation, new vehicle technologies and sustainable solutions.

Our roadmap into the future

The impact of our neighbourhood network on the future of sustainable transit is most clearly seen among urban populations where car hire plays an increasingly important role.

Our commitment

We believe that by embracing, promoting and practicing sustainability, we benefit along with the environment. It’s about getting people involved. It's good for our people, our customers and our business.

So, developing sustainable transporation solutions matter to us. Our commitment to a fuel-efficient fleet includes investing in the alternative fuels and the clean technologies of tomorrow.
