So whether travelling for business or a weekend away we are pleased to be partnering with BMW to provide both for our customers.\u201d Mr Beattie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the greatest advantages of hiring an electric vehicle through SIXT is that there is no charge to recharge. Just return your vehicle and we\u2019ll recharge it for you so you can save time and money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to collaborate with SIXT car rental on its forward-thinking move to provide customers access to the BMW iX3, which represents a new generation \u2013 and rapidly expanding \u2013 line-up of fully electric models from BMW that offer zero emissions driving pleasure and outstanding range capability,\u201d said Rene Gerhard, Director of Sales, BMW Group Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCombined with access to complimentary EV charging, customers will be able to embark on adventures of all kinds while benefiting from an array of luxury and technology features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe addition of the fully electric iX3 to the SIXT fleet alongside a variety of our other highly efficient conventionally-powered offerings means all lifestyles and preference swill be catered for and is very much aligned with our strategy to offer customers maximum choice while progressing our plans towards an electrified future,\u201d Mr Gerhard added. <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 SEPTEMBER 2022: SIXT Australia are pleased to be announcing the expansion of their luxury and electric vehicle fleet on the eve of World EV Day through a new partnership with BMW which will see 500 cars delivered in the coming months.
