Green Motion announced its latest location in Larnaca Airport, Cyprus. This is a new facility located off-airport, approximately 5 minutes from the main terminal. Green Motion's founder & CEO Richard Lowden was joined by members of his senior leadership team along with the owners of the Green Motion Master Country Franchise Chrystal Michael and Michalakis Michael at the official opening.
"Chrystal and Michalakis have gone above and beyond in realising Green Motion's new brand concept — this is genuinely a showpiece location — and I have no doubt whatsoever will prove highly successful for our customers," Lowden said in the statement.
"We are truly thrilled to welcome Richard and his team to Cyprus and be one of the first to adopt the latest generation of the Green Motion brand concept," added Chrystal Michael, CEO of Green Motion Cyprus. "We are looking forward to welcoming customers to this new facility."
Green Motion's founder applauded its Malta airport location for securing new vehicles in a time that has proven challenging to find supply.

On March 10, Green Motion also announced that its Malta location received the first batch of its 2022 fleet from Hyundai, with the i20 manual and auto models joining the fleet line-up.
"I would like to congratulate Louis Zammit and Reno Meli of Green Motion Malta for continuing to expand their fleet with new cars in what is perhaps the most challenging time from a fleet acquisition perspective for our industry," Lowden said.
Since moving to the new on-terminal car rental facility at Malta International Airport, Green Motion Malta is on target to double its fleet.
