Namibia2Go has become the first car rental company in Namibia to add hybrid vehicles to its fleet.
The first of a total of 12 Toyota Cross 1.8XS CVT HV has been presented to the company which is part of Gondwana Collection Namibia, with the other 11 hybrid vehicles due to arrive in the course of April.
Test drives in Cape Town have shown that the Toyota Cross 1.8XS CVT HV’s average petrol consumption is 4.7l/100 km, a great advantage in times when fuel prices are soaring to dizzying heights, while also more environmentally-friendly thanks to lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Gondwana’s Financial Director Jaco Visser said in his welcoming speech that after two difficult years, tourism has to move with the times and should actively engage in the protection of our environment. “Tourism is one of the most inclusive and most sustainable industries that we have. We have to look after our planet to make sure that it is there for generations to come.â€
