Alfama, Sé, Costa do Castelo or Praça do Comércio are some of the Lisbon areas that are part of the routes of Eco TuK Tours, a company of environmental vehicles founded in Lisbon a year ago by three brothers."[The company] was born from the idea of making sustainable tourism in the city of Lisbon. And this is what the Board intends for this story, the zero-emissions zone ", explained John Túbal, one of the brothers, to the green economy.The vehicles used are silent and trams. So, the driver must warn pedestrians, many times, their passage â€" you can see him doing that, even during the story of the green economy.On the other hand, these 100% electric vehicles show passengers the most typical neighborhoods of the city, being a good alternative for those who can't make it, the walking. In the last year â€" the first of the parent company, the Eco Tuk Tours transported more than four thousand passengers, having circulated nearly 28 000 kilometres. In all, were made a thousand trips.Eco Tuk Tours prepares now to increase the fleet to six vehicles. "Each vehicle has power to 40 or 50 miles a day, depending on the weight they carry or the climbs he has to do," explained John Túbal."The cars come out of our driveway in the morning and at the end of the day, like any electrical appliance, connect to the mains and is already," joked the Manager. After ten hours loading, vehicles are ready to return to the hills of Lisbon.See the episode 232 of the green economy.
