From a quick first glance I get a taste of "Marketing speak" or "Let's ride the environmentally friendly wave". Do the
least possible that allows us to scream a "We're green" profile from the rooftops ... that sort of thing. But maybe I'm too sceptical
All I can find is that it seem to be mostly Diesel cars. From the look of it, fairly modern diesels, turbo, some common rail, that sort of thing. The focus in the
Marketing Speak is on low CO2 and high mileage - both really quite logical consequences of selecting diesel over petrol. At the same time they totally fail to mention if the cars are even fitted with diesel particulate filters, or what Euro spec they qualify for (Euro-4, Euro-3 or worse?).
No mention of Hybrids, Bi-fuel, LPG, Methanol, Bio-diesel, whatever ...
So, personally I basically read:
"We're now also offering diesel rent-a-cars!!" (wow!)
On the bright side: If these
are Euro-4 (or even better?) and fitted with a filter it's not all bad and certainly better than having no choice
Sorry for the sceptisism, hope it doesn't spoil your mood/plans
Cheers! Arp
