World's first 4WD limoJune 16, 2008
The Lounge stretch limousine is a 2005 design and engineering study, a six-passenger (2 in front, 4 in back) Phaeton limo also happens to be the first 4WD vehicle of its kind. Powered by a 420-horsepower W12, the 22-foot-long Phaeton Lounge's exterior is drenched in shiny black piano lacquer and accented with flashes of chrome.
Volkswagen Individual, the company's in-house customizer, is charged with creating bespoke vehicles and various limited-edition, niche market and specialty models. Their involvement could be something as simple as developing a new paint color or wheels to producing a run of specifically-equipped variants of existing models. The breadth of Individual's involvement across the VW lineup came as a surprise. The passenger compartment is decadently luxurious, awash in premium woods and contrasting leathers. The floorboards are all wood with aluminum strips separating them and look like they belong in a megayacht, never mind a car. In addition to the rich materials used, the rear cabin is predictably feature-laden. Replete with individually adjusting seats and footrests, 12-liter refrigerator, minibar, humidor, DVD entertainment system with two 17" displays, and a hidden PC with Bluetooth peripherals and mobile internet connectivity, the Phaeton Lounge is set up to make each ride comfortable, relaxing, and, if necessary, productive.
As a showcase of Volkswagen Individual's abilities, it succeeds completely. It's tastefully executed and communicates subtle elegance inside and out. Limousine is a unique looking vehicle. Designed to be an alternative to buses & magnetic trains, this aerodynamic, lightweight vehicle can run on roads or on special “Supertracks”.

Oscar Green LimosMay 8, 2008
Hollywood Guess celebrities are really trade into the environment sustainability bit, maybe after two movies the “An Inconvenient Truth and The 11th Hour” that citied possible impacts the earth could be overwhelmed with resulting from climate change. But it is excellent start…
Celebrity’s presence at the Oscars will have a chance to select from 30 environmentally friendly cars to make a green testimonial at the red carpet. From a line of plug-in hybrid cars including the electric Tesla Roadster, celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Matt Damon and others will have a chance to select their ride from Global Green USA.
From Leonardo DiCaprio to Forest Whitaker, eco-conscious celebrities are increasingly shunning gas-guzzling increase limousine to ferry them to the Oscars and preferring greener alternatives.
And that means business is blossoming for Fray and her Three-year-old business Eco-Limo, which comprises a fleet of 14 cars all of which are either “hybrid” gas/electricity or run on bio-fuels.
“We’re dedicated to alternative fuel, “says Fray. “There’s no town car, no Hummer, no Cadillac. Some other companies have a small number of hybrids, but they have hundreds of limousines.”
Fray launched her film after purchasing a hybrid Toyota Prius, which can run for 100 kilometers on not as much of five liters of gasoline using a third of the fuel of traditional Lincoln Town car limousine.
Global Green USA begins the green limousine campaign five years ago at the Oscars to elevate awareness among the viewers worldwide about alternative fuel cars, energy independence and solutions to global warming. And what improved way to market the cause than putting celebrities in them while the world watches.
Stars Go For Green LimosFebruary 27, 2008
As the environmentally friendly limo-driver to the stars, Y Fray does not like to talk about her A-list clientele. But one look at the wall of her office -- where dashboard placards bearing the names of previous customers are pinned -- offers striking confirmation that the Oscars red carpet is turning a shade of green, reported AFP. From Leonardo DiCaprio to Forest Whitaker, eco-conscious celebrities are increasingly shunning gas-guzzling stretch limousines to ferry them to the Oscars and preferring greener alternatives. And that means business is booming for Fray and her three-year-old business Eco-Limo, which comprises a fleet of 14 cars all of which are either "hybrid" (gas/electricity) or run on bio-fuels. "We're dedicated to alternative fuel," says Fray. "There's no town car, no Hummer, no Cadillacs. Some other companies have a small number of hybrids, but they have hundreds of limousines." Fray launched her firm after purchasing a hybrid Toyota Prius -- which can run for 100 kilometers on less than five litres of gasoline -- using a third of the fuel of traditional Lincoln Towncar limousine. After starting out with a small client base word of Fray's company reached Global Green, an environmental awareness group, who soon directed Hollywood icon DiCaprio towards the firm. "Leo is a client every now and then," Fray says. "Things have just blossomed by word of mouth. We have not done any advertising or marketing." While the Prius is the most popular vehicle, Eco-Limo's fleet also includes a Mercedes and a Ford sports utility vehicle that run on bio-fuel. "Some companies that were laughing when we started are not laughing anymore," says Fray, noting that several established limo companies had sought to emulate her firm by offering green alternatives. With the green revolution in the entertainment sector, I won’t be startled to know an escalating fleet of greener cars. Hyundai parts and I suppose, those made by flourishing automakers will soon entertain an all-green policy.
Limos In ScotlandFebruary 15, 2008
Limousines are considered as status symbols anywhere else in the world including Scotland. However, the luxury car was not exempted in the Scottish government’s new law that is set to affect the country’s limo industry.
Amidst the rapid increase of limousines in Scotland streets reaching up to 15,000, the country’s Department of Transport passed a new code that requires registration and licensing of vehicles that accommodate more than eight passengers, The Herald reports.
The code also advices operators to comply with the regulations on vehicle weight, tyres, doors including reflectors and turning circle. Good thing they didn’t include the car bra.
However, the National Limousine and Chauffeur Association (NLCA) recommended that new regulations that would boost improvement of safety controls in the industry be implemented instead.
At The Herald, NLCA Legislation Officer said that it would be a better solution if the government is really promoting family safety. But the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland insisted that the code was really meant to ensure road safety.
Road Safety Minister Jim Fitzpatrick said at the same source, “The popularity of stretched limousines has soared and we are determined to ensure that they are used safely.”
Limousines are commonly used as transportation during special occasions particularly during parties and school promenades in Scotland. However, due to the licensing law, limousines will be prohibited from carrying more than eight passengers not unless it would secure a passenger-carrying vehicle (PCV) license just like the ones bus operators have.
Scotland, according to Wikipedia, is a country located in the northwest part of Europe and is one of the four constituent countries of United Kingdom.
