World’s
first biodiesel rental car debuts on Maui
http://www.bio-beetle.com/
Kahului,
Maui, Hawaii - Today Maui Recycling Service is proud to announce the debut of
the Bio-Beetle rental car, the world’s first biodiesel powered car rental.
The
idea for a biodiesel rental car has been a long-time dream of Shaun Stenshol,
owner of Maui Recycling Service. "The Bio-Beetle rental car gives the
general public the opportunity to drive a renewably fueled car and offers them
first hand experience that renewable fuels are available right now, and that
they actually work!" said Stenshol.
"Biodiesel
is one of the renewable fuels that can lead the way toward sustainability. This
is my way of showing people that we have a choice, right now, to switch to
fuels that can reduce our dependence on natural gas, oil, coal, and nuclear
fuels, which are destroying our environment and contributing to foreign
conflict." said Stenshol.
The
first Bio-Beetle rental car is an unmodified 2000 Volkswagen Beetle diesel (TDI),
which is powered by 100% biodiesel. Maui Recycling Service has contracted with
Maui Car Rentals to manage the rental. More specific information about the
Bio-Beetle can be found at http://www.bio-beetle.com
Bio-Beetle
will purchase all of its fuel from Pacific Biodiesel, who makes all of their
fuel from used cooking oil. Biodiesel is available in many parts of the U.S.,
and is used extensively in Europe.
Maui
Recycling Service is dedicated to environmental sustainability, and is actively
working towards that goal. Bio-Beetle is just one more way to show what we can
do, right now, to make a difference.
