THE DESERT IS GREEN FOR FOX SPORTS AND EV RENTAL CARS
Eco-Friendly Business Alliance Highlighted at Super Bowl XLII
Phoenix (February 1, 2008) – Two leading green-minded companies – FOX Sports® and EV Rental Cars – have teamed up again, this time for Super Bowl XLII in Phoenix, AZ. This business alliance, formed to support each company’s environmentally-friendly corporate goals, was launched at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game last year and followed up with the Fiesta Bowl. FOX Sports has again called upon hybrid rental car company, EV Rental Cars, to supply environmental vehicles to FOX Sports broadcast and technical professionals visiting Phoenix for the big game.
This successful partnership speaks to both companies’ progressive stances on preserving natural resources, protecting the environment and preventing unnecessary pollution.
EV Rental Cars Fueled by Consumer Conscience
“It has long been part of EV Rental Cars’ mission to educate the public, and raise awareness of the benefits of driving clean-fuel cars,” said EV Rental Cars’ founder Jeff Pink, “and our established alliance with FOX Sports supports that mission. Increasingly, consumers are consciously choosing environmentally-friendly companies.”
FOX Sports Environmental Choice
FOX Sports employees are offered the opportunity to drive the most technologically advanced EV Rental Car hybrid vehicles. The half-electric and half-gasoline powered vehicles are each equipped with integrated charging systems, precluding them from having to be recharged from an outside source.
“EV Rental Cars is again our primary car rental supplier at a major event for FOX Sports,” said Bill Brown, Executive Vice President, FOX Sports. “In our continuing environmental efforts companywide, driving hybrid rental cars is an easy choice.”
