Caliber Launches Fleet of Eco-Friendly Vehicles
In an effort to reduce environmental impact, preserve natural resources, and improve the sustainability of our business, Caliber Service Management has begun employing eco-friendly vehicles throughout our fleet. Integrating sustainable practices improves operational efficiency and helps defray the costs of resources required to run our operations.
One of the changes we've made is utilizing new hybrid and eco friendly Ford vehicles. The Ford EcoSport comes with a 1.0L EcoBoost engine with auto start-stop technology to provide the best efficiency while on the road. For a crossover vehicle, the EcoSport has terrific fuel efficiency while still giving you the power you need to handle the road.
- Better gas mileage: There isn’t a doubt that hybrid cars have better gas mileage than other cars. Improved fuel economy, as well as reduced fuel consumption, is a major benefit of hybrid cars. Thus, it will get better gas mileage than a gas powered car. First is because the electric motor provides extra power and when driving a low speed, the electric motor will work instead of the gas engine. So, it saves gas and helps the environment.
- Less harmful emissions of gas: Global warming is a big concern and one of the reasons for global warming is the fumes emitted from cars. Harmful gases like carbon monoxide damage the air. Since hybrid cars use the electric motor more, they burn less fuel. This causes fewer emissions.
- It uses electricity: Since hybrid cars partially depend on electricity to run the vehicle, the use of gas is lowered. Plus there are plenty of hybrid cars that can create their own electricity during times of coasting and braking. The electricity doesn’t harm the environment since it produces its own electricity, there isn’t a need for natural resources.
- Reduction of pollutants and toxins: The main issue for the environment is the growing pollution level due to emissions caused by cars. If you have read information about hybrid cars, then you know it doesn’t release a lot of toxins or pollutants into the air like a gas powered vehicle. Normal conventional cars will require you to change the oil after 3,000 miles, but hybrid cars need an oil change after 6,000 miles.
