    ESTERO, Fla., Aug. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ), which includes the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands, has announced the expansion of its Green Traveler Collection fleet to include the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid in select cities across the U.S.

    2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

    The new Sonata Hybrid, rated at 40 mpg city and 44 mpg highway, switches seamlessly between a gasoline engine and an electric motor to deliver efficient power. The gasoline engine delivers the primary charge energy for the lithium polymer batteries, while the regenerative braking system captures the energy created during braking and converts it into electricity to help recharge the hybrid’s lithium polymer batteries. For flexible loading, the Sonata Hybrid features a 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback. The vehicle’s battery pack has been designed to fit below the trunk floor, giving drivers a flat, unobstructed space for loading.

    The Sonata Hybrid is available to rent at airports including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco, Atlanta, Dulles International and Chicago, as well as cities such as San Jose, San Diego and Long Beach in California; Portland, Oregon; and Denver. The new Sonata Hybrid is just one of Hertz’s smart mobility rental choices available in the Company’s Green Traveler Collection, a line of hybrid, electric and clean diesel vehicles that offer high-fuel efficiency while being easy on the wallet. All of the Green Traveler cars have fuel efficiency ratings starting at 33+ highway mpg.

    As part of Hertz’s commitment to sustainability, the company believes it has one of the most fuel-efficient rental fleets in the industry. More than 80 percent of Hertz’s vehicles have a minimum fuel-efficiency rating of 28 highway mpg. Environmental efficiency programs’ efforts resulted in recycling over 2 million gallons of used oil and auto waste in 2014, and more than 80 percent of the company’s car washes use reclaimed water. The Hertz sustainability program also includes mixed recycling at Hertz rental locations, which saw a 42 percent increase in tons of waste recycled in 2014; and tire recycling, which resulted in 414,000 tires diverted from landfills in 2014. Additionally, the company currently has 15 solar locations, with projected growth to 20 by 2016.

  • The Hertz Corporation In Exclusive Negotiations With Loxam Group For Potential Acquisition Of The France And Spain Businesses Of Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation

    The Hertz Corporation In Exclusive Negotiations With Loxam Group For Potential Acquisition Of The France And Spain Businesses Of Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation

    NAPLES, Fla., June 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ) has announced that it has entered into exclusive negotiations with the LOXAM Group (Loxam) for the potential acquisition of the France and Spain businesses of Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation (HERC) through the transfer of the entire share capital of Hertz Equipement France SAS and Hertz Alquiler de Maquinaria, SLU. The proposed transaction includes 60 locations in France and two in Spain. As part of the process, HERC and Loxam are each consulting with their respective Works Councils in France.

    HERC is a leading North American equipment rental company with operations in the Middle East and China along with a presence in seven other countries through franchise partnerships. The potential divestiture of its France and Spain businesses would enable HERC to focus on core and specialty market expansion. In addition, the move is in line with HERC’s strategy to maximize profitability and shareholder value as part of its planned separation from The Hertz Corporation.

    Loxam is the leading equipment rental company in Europe, with over 4,500 employees and 623 locations across 14 countries. The potential acquisition would increase its market share in the Paris area and the North and West of France as well as reinforce its Spanish network, strengthening Loxam’s positioning as a premier player in the European rental industry.

    The proposed transaction remains subject to receipt of the requisite works council opinions, the signing of the sale agreements and obtaining required corporate and regulatory approvals. Terms of the potential share purchase have not been disclosed.

    Hertz Named Among Top Green Companies in the U.S. Hertz ranked 54th out of the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. companies, up from 329th in 2014

    ESTERO, Fla., June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) has been named to Newsweek’s 2015 Green Rankings, one of the world’s most recognized assessments of corporate environmental performance. The company ranked No. 54 among the 500 largest, publicly traded U.S. companies according to market capitalization, up from No. 329 in 2014.

    "We are honored to be recognized by Newsweek for our continued commitment to building sustainable business practices," said John P. Tague, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hertz. "We’re proud to provide clean-technology vehicle choices to our customers, and we are dedicated to reducing our businesses’ impact on the environment through numerous initiatives, including the delivery of sustainable mobility solutions powered by the most fuel-efficient rental fleet in the car rental industry."

    As part of Hertz’s commitment to sustainability, over 80 percent of Hertz’s vehicles have a minimum fuel-efficiency rating of 28 highway mpg. Environmental efficiency programs’ efforts resulted in recycling over 2 million gallons of used oil and auto waste in 2014, and more than 80 percent of the company’s car washes use reclaimed water. The Hertz sustainability program also includes mixed recycling at Hertz rental locations, which saw a 42 percent increase in tons of waste recycled in 2014; and tire recycling, which resulted in 414,000 tires diverted from landfills in 2014. Additionally, the company currently has 15 solar locations, with projected growth to 20 by 2016.

    The 2015 Green Rankings assess the environmental performance of the U.S. 500. Companies are measured against their industry peers using eight clearly defined metrics including energy, water and waste usage as well as corporate reputation. According to Newsweek, the data for its rankings is obtained from primary sources, including annual reports, audited financial statements, proxy statements and sustainability reports. Secondary data is obtained from HIP Investor, Bloomberg and the CDP. All companies are contacted for data verification once all available items of data have been obtained.
