US President Barack Obama’s “green fleet initiative” to ensure that all new government vehicles will run on electric, hybrid or alternative fuels by 2015, raised the question if the presidential limo will also go green.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked if the presidential limo, nicknamed ‘The Beast’ was among those vehicles.
“You know the limousines are part of I believe, run and operated and commissioned by the United States Secret Service,” Fox News quoted Carney as saying.
Secret Service Special Agent Robert Novy said that certain specialized vehicles with law enforcement and security specifications are not subject to this directive. The Beast is among them.
President Obama rides in a custom-built black Cadillac, which made its debut on his inauguration in 2009.
Most details of ‘The Beast’ also known by the White House as ‘Cadillac One’ are classified for security purposes.
