On Monday 29th July BMW launched its revolutionary Electric vehicle the BMW i3. The worldwide event took place simultaneously in London, Beijing and New York with Travelhire providing ground transport and co-ordination for the London Old Billingsgate venue. This was a demanding assignment involving over 250 simultaneous individual Journalist arrivals from Europe into London’s Heathrow, City, Luton, and Gatwick Airports as well as the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras. All arrivals and departures were completed within a 24 hour period using our BMW 7 and BMW 5 Series fleet.
Driven by a locally emission-free electric motor the BMW i3 also qualifies for a full 100% discount in the London Congestion Zone. The BMW i3 has an impressive real-world range of 80-100 miles thanks to the high-voltage lithium ion battery. The BMW i3 Range Extender adds to the achievable range.
