(Los Angeles – August 27, 2007) EmpireCLS Worldwide Chauffeured
Services will showcase its latest models of environmentally friendly vehicles
at the Celebrity Vault’s exhibition of “Celebrity Icons,” on
August 30, 2007, at the Celebrity Vault Art Gallery, located in Beverly Hills,
where a cocktail reception will be held from 6pm to 9pm. Attendees
will include Corporate Travel Managers, Talent, PR Firms, and eco-friendly
activists.
“We think the Celebrity Vault event is another great opportunity,” said
David Seelinger, EmpireCLS Chairman and CEO, “for us to remind people
of the availability of environmentally friendly vehicles in our industry
and our commitment to the environment.”
The presentation will feature the Lexus RX 400h Hybrid, the Lexus 600LH
Hybrid Sedan, the BMW Hydrogen 7 and the Toyota Prius. The vehicles will be
parked in front of the gallery where guests will be able to get inside, check
out the interior, and look under the hood. A Lexus representative
will also be on hand to answer questions about the luxury line and its hybrid
technology.
“The demand for ‘green’ vehicles at EmpireCLS has
increased exponentially since the turn of the year,” said Alicia Dill,
EmpireCLS Director of Business Development. “People are becoming
more conscious of the green choices they have available to them. We
look forward to introducing a luxury line of eco-friendly vehicles and giving
our clients the opportunity to help protect the environment without compromising
style.”
The BMW Hydrogen 7 is still in its “Pioneer Program,” in which
BMW has given the luxury alternative fuel vehicle to industry leaders and
prominent figures in entertainment, politics, business and other sectors
of society. EmpireCLS participates in the program by lending ground
transportation support to users of the program.
“Even though the H7 is not yet for sale,” said Bruce Cardenas,
Executive Vice President of Business Affairs, “we’re delighted
to have this opportunity to showcase the vehicle and give people a preview
of hydrogen technology.”
In addition to acquiring environmentally friendly vehicles, EmpireCLS continues
to participate in green programs having provided over 30 chauffeurs to drive
E-Class BLUETEC ® Mercedes Benz Sedans for the Live Earth Concert in
New York and having driven over 100 “green” vehicles for show
participants for the 79th Annual Academy Awards.
