Select Security Goes Green with the Purchase of New Vehicles

Lancaster, PA, July 18, 2008 - Select Security is going green! With the cost of gasoline on the rise, President Patrick Egan purchased nine, brand new Chevy HHR’s for our installation department. With an estimated 30 MPG (miles per gallon), these vehicles will allow us to decrease both fuel usage and costs.

Company-wide, our technicians travel an approximate 500,000 miles per year throughout Central Pennsylvania. Our prior fleet of vans had a 15 MPG rating, and the HHR will allow us to cut our fuel intake by half. Most of our HHR’s are on the road now and will be distributed among our three offices in the near future.

In addition to purchasing a more fuel-efficient vehicle, we have also researched and implemented methods of weight reduction in the vehicle, including lighter equipment packaging and light weight ladders and shelving units. The combination of increased MPG and decreased weight wll allow for better gas mileage now and as gasoline prices increase.

According to Mr. Egan, “It only seems reasonable that any company with a fleet like ours would look to lower their fuel costs and provide for a better environment at the same time.”

“Going Green” has several aspects, and is measured by the immediate or residual impact of our products and/or practices. Increasing our miles per gallon and lessening the load weight will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions from tailpipes, cut fuel consumption and make driving more affordable for our company.
