Short clip: Avis renting green cars

Sound effect

>> Is Avis doing anything in the Green area? And I would ask it in two ways, one is in the way that you build your infrastructure and deal with that and secondly in the automobiles that you provide to your customers.

>> Yeah, sure, from a data center perspective we actually outsource our operations but we are constantly on top of our outsource partner in terms of virtualization, reducing the number of servers and creating the most efficient data center from a heating perspective as well as an electricity perspective. As far as our vehicles if you read the press I'm sure you'll see that Avis and Budget have increased their fleet with the hybrid cars, etcetera so these are certainly things that we addressed in all of our operations.
