The small fleet of field sales vehicles at RuB Inc. in America have
changed course. With petrol prices trending up, and greenhouse gasses
going the same, we decided to go green.
We now have two Regional Sales Managers (RSM) driving Hybrid Gas-Electric cars in America.
In a country where a 5L Mustang convertible is considered a small car, our employees are spending hundreds of days on the highway surrounded by large trucks & cars. For a road warrior who’s car is his office—this downsizing to smaller vehicles was an issue to be addressed. Toyota Motor company helped us overcome this objection, because they made this Hybrid bigger. With the rear seatbacks down, Prius v offers 67.3 cubic feet of cargo space. With customers buckled in, there's 34.3 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats.
It appears that the subtle styling changes in the hatch have added remarkable space in the vehicle. The 5 doors provide lots of room in the back for catalogs, customer files, and samples of all sorts.
The surprise of the day was the need for IT support at the car dealership. Two different electronic technicians had to support our launch into the field. Our smart phones automatically synch to our computers, and we wanted the car to sync to RuB Inc. No problem for iPhones or the DROID that most of our sales people have. Bruce Sandler- NorthEast RSM quickly got his Bluetooth® wireless working. He quickly made voice activated calls to customers that the car pulled right out of our CRM database! It’s a bit surprising that the automobile industry is aggressively marketing this connectivity in your dash board. It is against the law to drive holding a phone, but we can surf the web, purchase concert tickets, while driving? Of course our employees would never do something like this.
The vehicle controls work by voice recognition and we were told that the system learns quickly. This is good fortune because some humans cannot disceren that Tom (Tennesee) and Bruce (Boston) speak the same language.
I wonder if the GPS would work if they switched cars in the future?
Our guys in the field got big care storage, with small car economy.
The electric motor is driven by a battery under the back seat. This is re-charged by breaking. The Hybrid Synergy Drive®, and electronics allow Prius v a smooth transition from electric to gas moors. Exceptional fuel efficiency, and low smog-forming emissions can be monitored. Energy monitor gives you real time feedback about how efficient you are driving.
Those aggressive drivers are reminded that there is a cost—at the pump for your road-raging driving style.
From initial acceleration to low speeds, Prius v is designed not to use fuel, because under certain conditions it’s powered solely by the high-torque electric motor. During heavy acceleration, the gasoline engine is used while the battery supplies increased drive power to the electric motor.
Tom Scholato reported that his drive home was measured at 46 mpg. This fuel economy is 105% improvement over his old SUV. We reduce costs for the company and take care of the environment too—WIN-WIN.
