eco-friendly limos for Bangkok hotel

A 5 star luxury resort in Bangkok has recently undergone a major overhaul of its present limo hire service. The Bangkok Marriott Resort and Spa has replaced its old fleet of limos with a brand new batch of Mercedes Benz E 200 limos with natural gas technology.

The hotel was concerned about the impact its current range of limos was having on the environment. Bangkok is particularly prone to problems relating to pollution with the city often being clouded in a thick band of smog. The new Mercedes with its natural gas technology (NGT) will slash co2 emissions by over 20% in comparison to the previous limos. It also cuts the running costs of the exclusive vehicles by half.

Natural gas is a successful alternative to petrol as it is a primary energy source and doesn’t require converting for use within vehicles, further reducing the cost of using this kind of fuel. The Mercedes Benz E 200 is designed to be bivalent so the driver can switch between using petrol or natural gas to run the car giving an element of flexibility.

The Bangkok Marriott Resort and Spa is an extremely popular hotel within the area. It offers a vast array of 5 star facilities and features Thai architecture, hot tubs, and tropical gardens providing a relaxing getaway within the heart of the city. The resort is also close to many of Bangkok’s historic palaces, monuments and temples. With the introduction of their new eco-friendly limousine fleet, the hotel is likely to attract a whole new market of environmentally conscious clientele.
