Stuttgart to Shoreditch by S class
Posted: 09 March, 2010
Mercedes-Benz invited us to their factory in Stuttgart for a tour of their impressive facilities and to collect 2 new S Class BlueEFFICIENCY* limos.
The 575 mile journey back to our Head Office in Shoreditch, via Dover/Calais, was a breeze in the big cars. Our 2 man team from the Lewis Day Fleet Dept delivered the 65,000 pounds a piece cars safely back to base. A change of number plates from German to UK ones (with private plates ending in LDT) and official licensing from the Public Carriage Office ensured they were ready for service on 1st March.
The S Class is the flagship model in the Mercedes range. Ours are long wheelbase and fitted with leather, electric rear seats, panoramic glass roof, privacy glass and DVD affording our clients a truly VIP experience.
*BlueEFFICIENCY is a package of fuel saving technologies. Innovative changes have been made throughout the design and engineering. From the engine to the wheels, everything is optimised for lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Advancements include improved aerodynamics, weight reduction, lower-displacement engines and ECO start/stop to help save energy. As a result, the S 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY emits just 199 g/km of CO2, with Benefit in Kind of 30%.
