MEXICO CITY and ESTERO, Fla., July 14,
2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Global Holdings Inc.
(NYSE:HTZ) has announced that its Hertz Green Collection - known as
Green Traveler Collection in the US - has been launched in
Mexico with a fleet of 2016 Toyota
Prius hybrid vehicles. Hertz Mexico is the first car rental provider to add
hybrid vehicles to its offering in the country in support of
sustainable mobility. The all-new Toyota Prius is currently
available for rent at all Hertz locations in Mexico City. These cars are exempt from the
city's driving limitations in force for improving the quality of
the air.
The redesigned model has a new, sleeker look; an even smoother
drive; increased levels of comfort; and enhanced technology-enabled
features.
The Prius incorporates fuel-saving technology that seamlessly
and automatically alternates between electric power and
conventional engine power for greater efficiency and performance.
The Prius does not use fuel on slopes, in traffic jams or slow
movement, resulting in fuel-saving costs and reduced CO2
emissions.
"Leading the car rental industry in offering a fleet of hybrid
car rental vehicles in Mexico
supports our commitment to the environment," said Moises Behar, chief executive officer of Hertz
Mexico. "After seeing the popularity of the Hertz Green Collection
in other countries, we are convinced that this eco-friendly choice
will be equally well received in Mexico
City."
Tom Sullivan, president of Toyota
Motor Sales in Mexico, added:
"We're proud of being leaders in innovation, hybrid technology and
sustainable mobility in Mexico and
in the world. Toyota's priority is to develop hybrid cars; it's the
reflection of the company's commitment with the environment and our
contribution to create a better world for everyone. This alliance
with Hertz represents, without a doubt, a privilege for us to
approach this kind of technology to the Mexican market."
In addition to its modern, regular fleet and the recently
launched Green Collection, Hertz Mexico offers the Prestige
Collection – a variety of elegant, comfortable models for customers
seeking extra style – and the Adrenaline Collection, which includes
high-performance sport cars for thrill-seeking drivers.
