Econation offers several types of flex-fuel vehicles for its limousine, concierge and related services
“We refuse to use just regular gas for anything,” says Ben Bloch of Econation. His firm has hybrid and compressed natural gas-fueled vehicles for its premium ground transportation services, and, he told F&F, has only reluctantly gotten into E85-ethanol flex-fuel vehicles.
Now Econation is happier about flexxies behind a new partnership for Los Angeles-area fueling with Propel Biofuels. Propel is quickly building network of E85 and biodiesel outlets at brand-name gasoline stations, and also provides the CleanDrive tracking program for quantifying environmental benefits.
Econation has signed on for CleanDrive too.
“Travelers appreciate being able to do something better for the environment while still experiencing the comfort, luxury and affordability they associate with a leading transportation company,” Bloch says in a Propel release. “We view this new partnership with Propel in the same light. We’re able to fuel our Flex Fuel vehicles with the sustainable, American product they were designed for.”
Propel operates “Clean Fuel Point” stations throughout California and Washington State with more than 200 sites planned for new and existing markets over the next two years.
In addition to Los Angeles, Econation offers ground transport in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Miami, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, St. Louis, Washington and Toronto, as well as in Paris and London. San Francisco is likely next for Propel Biofuels as an Econation E85 supplier, Bloch says.
