Environmental benefits of WhizzGo:
How car clubs make a difference.
Based on detailed research into European clubs over the past few years, the
environmental benefits of car clubs are now well established.
Reduced congestion
Studies show that car club members drive fewer miles per year than before joining.
This isn't surprising when you consider that the cost of each car journey is more
obvious; it is easy to 'forget' the garage and insurance bills when using a private
car, and to think of the cost of each journey in terms of the petrol alone. So car
club members tend to walk more frequently and use public transport more than the
average city dweller. Yes, disposing your car and joining a car club can increase
your fitness levels and help getting rid of stress.
Cleaner emissions
Case studies also show that for each car club vehicle made available, up to 20
people will sell (or scrap) their existing cars.
WhizzGo cars are all new models, hence they are more energy-efficient and generate
lower emissions than the cars they replace. WhizzGo carefully chose Citroen cars
(Green Fleet Awards: Manufacturer of the year 2006 and 2007) and introduced some
of the brands's greenest innovations such as the stop & start technology, or even
congestion charge exempt LPGs in London. This year, WhizzGo has entered the Capital
Fuel Challenge energy-efficient race, and won two of the Green Fleet Awards,
becoming the greenest 'Private Fleet of the Year' and 'Car leasing/Rental company
of the year' 2007.
So even if members were to drive the same number of miles after joining WhizzGo,
the environment should still benefit.
WhizzGo members do their bit for the environment while still enjoying the freedom
to drive when and where you want. Some people call it 'sustainable car use'.
