America’s First Full-Size Two-Mode Hybrid SUV Is Coming
TO MTC LIMOUSINE & CORPORATE COACH, INC.
IN JANUARY 2008
The 2008 Tahoe Hybrid provides the power and capability you expect from an MTC vehicle, while offering fuel efficiency you never imagined — an outstanding EPA estimated MPG of 20 city, 20 highway. In fact, 2008 Tahoe Hybrid 2WD offers the same city fuel efficiency as a four-cylinder Toyota Camry.(1)
Tahoe Hybrid optimizes efficiency and performance whether we are taking you to an appointment in the city or on the highway to the airport and offers up to a 50% better city fuel economy over the non-hybrid Tahoe. And it’s one of the many ways GM and MTC Limousine & Corporate Coach, Inc. is working to reduce our dependence on petroleum.
Tahoe Hybrid is lowered in both the front and rear and features other aerodynamic enhancements, including integrated assist steps with flared fronts, streamlined hood and specially tuned fascias and front air dam. Another difference between Tahoe Hybrid and the normal production model is the inclusion of Tahoe Hybrid-specific badging and graphics.
In addition, the hood and lift gate are made of lightweight aluminum and the low-mass aluminum wheels are outfitted with low rolling-resistance tires.
Keep an eye out for the new MTC Tahoe Hybrids and let us know how you like them!

MTC Added to Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Leaders List
Because of their commitment to sustainable practices, MTC has been added to the EPA’s Climate Leaders Partnership Program. As a Climate Leaders Partner, they have voluntarily agreed to become a key component in the country’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by developing a corporate-wide GHG inventory and by setting an aggressive emissions reduction goal.
MTC is reaching this goal through increasing fuel efficiency, switching to low-carbon fuels, reducing vehicle miles traveled, and optimizing vehicle choice. With typical high-volume corporate livery vehicles generating up to 50 tons of CO2 in a year, they are reducing the net effect of their emissions to zero by year end.
Launched in 2002, EPA’s Climate Leaders Partnership is an industry/government alliance that works to develop long-term corporate climate change strategies. Climate Leaders Partners set a corporate-side GHG reduction goal and inventory emissions to measure progress. They identify themselves as corporate environmental leaders and strategically position themselves as climate change policies continue to evolve. Climate Leaders Partners represent a variety of sectors, from heavy manufacturing to transportation and retail. These companies strive to set the standard for GHG management in their sectors, and more broadly in the U.S. economy.
