Green Mountain Energy Company, Texas' only electricity provider dedicated to cleaner energy, and smart center Dallas and Fort Worth, are teaming up to "get smart" and "go green."
The companies are sponsoring a sweepstakes to give away a smart fortwo Passion Coupe (equipped with the manufacturer's standard base model package and limited warranty) that has an approximate retail value of $16,235 before taxes, title and license, to a qualifying Texas resident. Texas residents can enter the Get Smart, Go Green! 2009 Sweepstakes to win one of the most environmentally-friendly cars on the road.
The sweepstakes will last three months and conclude on December 14, 2009.
"Green Mountain Energy Company is a perfect fit with smart - as both our customers are looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint," said Rob Sumner, director of marketing at Park Place Dealerships, the authorized smart dealer in Dallas and Fort Worth. Through the Get Smart, Go Green! Sweepstakes, we are providing a great opportunity for someone to win a fun, stylish and environmentally-friendly car."
The giveaway is open to Texas residents 18 years of age and older. Participants can fill out an entry form online at www.greenmountain.com/smartcar, or in person when visiting the Green Mountain booth at various events around the Dallas/Fort Worth, such as the State Fair of Texas or Plano Balloon Festival.
"We are thrilled to partner with a company that offers one of the most fuel efficient cars on the U.S. roads today," said Paul Markovich, senior vice president, Residential Services, Green Mountain Energy Company. "Through this promotion, we hope to educate North Texans that they can make smart choices both inside and outside the home to help make a difference for the environment."
The smart fortwo continues to be a preferred vehicle solution for American consumers. It is the most fuel efficient, non-hybrid vehicle in the U.S., according to the 2009 EPA Fuel Economy Guide, achieving an average of 41 miles per gallon on the highway.
The smart fortwo also is certified by the EPA as a "Smartway" vehicle, which indicates good environmental performance, placing it among the "greenest" vehicles on the market. With the smart fortwo's small and agile design, navigating through traffic and into tight parking spaces is a snap.
