Industry Update
Flyte Tyme Increases Its Hybrid Fleet
Flyte Tyme Worldwide has recently purchased several Chevrolet FlexFuel Suburban SUVs to increase its availability of alternative fuel vehicles. In addition, the company has also added 15 Mercury Mariner Hybrids to its New York-based fleet.
This year, Flyte Tyme will also roll out the black car industry’s first paperless “e-Voucher” system, developed in partnership with Aleph Computer Systems and Symbol Technologies. It will enable travelers to sign on the screen of the driver’s PDA tablet to acknowledge final charges and a receipt will be e-mailed to the customer.
Some additional programs that are being developed include: The installation of heating systems at its corporate locations in Mahwah, Princeton, Philadelphia, and New York City that will allow Flyte Tyme to heat its facilities with the waste oil generated by its vehicles; the installation of fuel conservation systems on all of its non-hybrid vehicles; and the installation of an Ethanol fueling station at its headquarters. Flyte Tyme is also in negotiations with several partners to purchase carbon offsets for its fleet vehicles that are currently not eligible for replacement.
