Because we’re doing our part to help stop their habitats from melting away.

When you go motorcoach, you go green. That’s what this information is all about. Expensive, future technologies to fight climate change aren’t years and billions of dollars away. They’re right here today.

Whether running on various blends of ultra-low sulfur or biodiesel fuel, motorcoaches are part of America’s energy solution.
The best example of environmental stewardship that applies to all motorcoaches on the roads today is their superior passenger fuel efficiency compared to other transportation sectors.

Motorcoaches currently provide 184 passenger miles per gallon (MPG), more than double the second most fuel-efficient sector, commuter rail at 86 passenger MPG. Transit buses achieve 32 passenger MPG, domestic air carriers achieve 42 passenger MPG, and single-passenger automobiles achieve 28 passenger MPG.

The motorcoach industry accounts for 631,000,000 passenger trips annually in the United States and Canada. Each full motorcoach has the potential of removing 55 autos from the highway. That’s millions of cars not driven annually, saving fuel, cutting emissions, reducing congestion, and maybe even saving a penguin.

Switching to motorcoach travel for the 12,500

miles traveled annually by the average automobile

would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by

4.3 tons per automobile annually.

Motorcoaches are the most fuel-efficient transportation mode in North America when measured in terms of passenger miles per gallon of fuel.		Motorcoaches emit the least carbon dioxide (CO2) per passenger mile when compared to other vehicles, and are on average 6 times more energy and fuel-efficient than single occupancy automobiles.
Motorcoaches provide 184 passenger miles per gallon of fuel; single-occupant automobiles, in contrast, achieve 28 passenger miles per gallon.		Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by an average of 85% per passenger mile for every person who chooses motorcoach travel instead of driving alone.
Average transit buses achieve 32 passenger MPG, airlines achieve 42 passenger MPG, and commuter rail achieves 86 passenger MPG.		Motorcoaches are 3 times more efficient in reducing CO2 output when compared to commuter rail, and 5 times more efficient than transit buses.
