Shaklee Corp. in Pleasanton, which recently received the first climate neutral award for its proactive approach to help the environment, now has about 12 Toyota Prius hybrid gas/electric vehicles in its fleet. Shaklee CEO Bob Schults now buys the Prius for his high-performing sales people. Janice Pucci, who oversees about 1,400 vehicles as fleet operations manager for Shaklee, said in an interview with Automotive Fleet that she anticipated having about 100 Pruis vehicles in her fleet in the future. "It's the car of the future," Pucci said. "Unlike an electric vehicle, you don't have the inconvenience of re-charging, since the gas engine does it for you.”
