Car rental company Europcar and high speed train operator Thalys have renewed the agreement they first signed in 2005 involving ‘green mobility’. Through this agreement, Thalys clients receive preferential tariffs when hiring Europcar vehicles, and for each rental, one Euro is donated to Europcar partner Climate Care. Didier Fénix, head of Europcar in Belgium, explained that through proposing to substitute train travel for journeys which would otherwise have been made by car, and then offering a ‘green’ vehicle at the destination, the company was hoping to change certain habits in terms of travel behaviour.
