Metro Cars Receives National Award for Propane Initiative

DETROIT, Oct. 25, 2007 -- Metro Cars, the leading transportation provider in Michigan, has exciting news for Michigan residents.

An innovator in the transportation industry, Metro Cars has instituted a new Propane Initiative, converting the majority of their fleet to operate on propane fuel.

Because of their innovative use of propane to fuel their vehicles, Metro Cars has received the prestigious 2007 PROPANE Exceptional Energy Fleet Award; one of only THREE companies in the country to receive this award. Dan Ret, Chief Operating Officer stated that Metro Cars started the Propane Initiative not to win awards, but because it's the right thing to do.

"As the largest and one of the most prestigious transportation companies in Michigan and North America, Metro Cars has always been on the cutting-edge of technology," said Ret. "Whether it was being the first to operate a true call center, open 24/7/365 days a year, the first to use a computer aided dispatch (CAD) system to route the most appropriate vehicle to a reservation; or the first to utilize an automatic vehicle locator (AVL) system, we have always had a positive impact on our clients, our industry and the entire traveling public in southeast Michigan.

"Now, through our cutting-edge Propane Initiative, we are working to have a positive impact globally ... literally," advised Ret.

Metro Cars is committed to the preservation of Michigan's environment. That's why they are converting their fleet of luxury sedans and airport shuttles to clean propane technology.

Many companies talk about the environment, but Metro Cars is actually making a difference.
