Green Urban Transport Sustainable Initiative

GUTSi Zero

We take our environmental responsibility seriously. Transport contributes a quarter of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions and we're totally committed to reducing our environmental impact. Consolidating passenger journeys is a natural first step. We intelligently collectivise commuters each morning onto one of our executive coaches, and with careful route planning this significantly helps to reduce vehicle movements, mileage and carbon. We also operate the greenest fleet of vehicles possible and we've taken this a step further by designing and building our own zero emission 100% electric vehicle the GUTSi Zero.

GUTSi Zero
We have created a 9-seater first class vehicle, that has the lowest possible impact on the environment and that is without compromise in its comfort and offers everything to make travel time more appealing. 

In 2007, we had a lucky break!  Smith Electric Vehicles had produced a fast charging, long range electric vehicle. This would provide the base vehicle which was suited to our express transport model.

 

Smith loved the potential of our conceptual transport initiative. With their cutting edge technology and enthusiasm for our GUTSi ideal, a highly charged ‘electric’ team was created and together we produced our first prototype!  – the pioneering and remarkable GUTSi zerO.
