by JACK SAPL

Auto Stockbridge Consultants Ltd. is promoting its luxuriously equipped, fuel-sipping Mercury Mariner Hybrid as an eco-friendly alternative to stretch limos at a time when the Ford is the first automaker to introduce a hybrid livery package, which demonstrates the company's commitment and innovation to the limo/livery industry, said Jack Sapl, Auto Stockbridge Consultants Ltd. North American Fleet limousine and livery manager. ,p> "There has been demand for hybrid livery vehicle for some time," said Jack Sapl. "More and more livery clients are asking operators for environmentally friendly options. In turn, the operators are coming to us for a solution."

Stockbridge Consultants Ltd is offering the Hybrid with a luxury package as an alternative to its Lincoln Town Car, which is the premier choice of luxury sedans in the limo/livery industry and accounts for more than 80 percent of the market share. Sapl said that the small SUV is getting serious consideration.

"The Mariner Hybrid addresses the market need," said Sapl. "Compared to the other hybrids, the Mariner Hybrid is roomier and has more cargo capacity than the Toyota Prius and is much less expensive than Lexus hybrids."

The Environmental Protection Agency rates Mariner Hybrid at 34 mpg in city driving and 30 on the highway. By comparison, the fuel economy of larger livery vehicles is often less than half or even a third of the Mariner.

The use of hybrids and alternative fuel vehicles is seen as a growing trend.
