Every responsible decision today makes for a better tomorrow.

For years motorcoach travel has been the greenest form of group transportation. We are excited about all of the advances in responsible travel that have become a reality over the past decade and look forward to a future where motorcoach travel continues to provide the greenest transportation.

IMG operators have been at the forefront of the responsible travel conversation alongside many motorcoach manufacturers by creating, leading, and contributing to future planning with our government officials, National Parks, School districts, corporate clients, and more.

MODERN CLEAN BURNING DIESEL POWERED MOTORCOACHES HAVE REDUCED PARTICULATE OUTPUT BY OVER 90% AND IS THE LEADING METHOD OF GROUP TRANSPORTATION FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.

Responsible is how we roll!

IMG Member Companies are embracing responsible travel at every turn.

Electrification - Responsible Tomorrow’s

Current successes that have been seen in electric group transportation.

Electrification has begun to make its way into group transportation but has a long way to go before it is ready for mass adoption. Currently, electrification works very well for scheduled route transportation with limited miles in applications that don't require significant luggage storage.

Moving ahead with electrification

IMG, and our Member companies are working with our manufacture partners to help shape the future of electrified group transportation.

Where the road needs to travel

Moving ahead with electrification

We look forward to helping shape the future of electrified group transportation within these key indicators.

   Increased Battery Range
   Charging Infrastructure

Hydrogen Fuel - Another responsible technology that has application in the group travel market.

Image

Current successes that have been seen in hydrogen group transportation.

Hydrogen Fuel Vehicles produce zero emissions, can be refueled in 5 minutes, and have the same range as gas-powered vehicles. With only four states with Hydrogen refueling stations and 39 stations nationwide, adoption and conversion again comes down to the infrastructure to support it and continued refinement of the technology for safety and reliability.

What’s on the Road Ahead for Hydrogen Motorcoaches?

Technology advancements needed for wider adoption in the group travel market

   Refill Infrastructure

With 4 States in major metropolitan areas, we look forward to a more extensive infrastructure allowing for nationwide refueling.

With 39 public stations open and 34 scheduled to be built, the access to hydrogen for refueling is slowly improving.

   Fuel Stability Advancements

High pressure gas handling takes training and creates specific safety issues.

Hydrogen, is a difficult gas to handle; being a low density gas, it must be highly compressed into tanks. Public concerns about safety with this fuel source continue to be a hurdle to mass deployment.

   Non-Renewable

More than 96% of hydrogen production still derives from non-renewable sources..

Hydrogen is a perfectly clean fuel because water vapor is the only waste it produces. However, creating it does cause some concern from a "carbon footprint" standpoint.

"IMG, and our member companies, are committed to bringing the most responsible and market-viable sustainable travel options to our customers and their passengers. "

Responsible travel options for our passengers, customers, and the world is a cornerstone of the IMG promise and one we will continue to keep at the forefront of the global discussion.
