Limousine Tours : Winner of the Sustainable Development Price 2009
 of the Charte sur la Responsabilité Sociétale Monégasque (Middle size Company)

ENVIRONMENT

 
Ecology has became in recent years an essential part of our life. Without being utopian, we are all concerned about global warming, but also by the future of our children. We are all aware of the problem, but how many of us have really decided to act?

For nearly 10 years Limousine Tours has taken action...

2001: First vehicle converted to LPG. Liquefied Petroleum Gas contains no lead, no benzene or sulfur. Its combustion produces no suspended particulates and limit CO2 emissions, one of the gas responsible for the greenhouse effect. Many other vehicles have been modified since, with the help of engineers from BRC to develop specific products for  high-end models.
- Since 2006, all our diesel vehicles are equipped with particulate filters.
- 2007: Conversion of a Mercedes S-Class biofuel (bioethanol).
- 2008: Accession to "la Charte sur la Responsabilité Sociétale Monégasque" 
- 2008: Purchase ot the electric scooter VECTRIX (administration services)

- Since January 2008, we offset financially all CO2 emitted by our vehicles, through offsetting program MCO2 (Foundation Prince Albert II of Monaco ). Our emissions of greenhouse gases have been offset by the purchase of certified carbon credits from the project "Lena Dura", developed under the Clean Development Mechanism of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (CCNUCC). This project involves the capture and combustion of methane discharge (Lena Dura) which receives garbage from the city of Punta Arenas (Chile). It is registered under No. 1435 by the Executive Board of the CCNUCC.
- 2009: Purschase of the Mercedes E 250 CDI BlueEfficiency: Mercedes has made numerous efforts to provide a powerful engine (204 horses) while setting new standards in terms of economy and CO2 reduction. This vehicle already meets environmental standards EURO-5. 
-2010: The Mercedes S400 hybrid is now available in our range.
-2012: Viano BlueEfficiency V6 (facelift) & VW Caravelle Bi-TDI DSG (facelift). Our minivans are now available with more performance and lower emissions.

Environment remains a commitment of every day:
- We educate our drivers to eco-driving.
- We regularly renew our vehicles to take advantage of recent technological advances (average of the park: about 2 years).
- Cleaning up our vehicles with environmentally friendly products (without water).
- Choice of new vehicles according to their impact on the environment. So far, models marketed didn't meet our needs, particularly in terms of livability and trunk capacity trunk.

Today, with the arrival of the Mercedes S400 hybrid luxury and ecology are not contradictory concepts.
