All staff at Red Decker Company love the state we live in, Tasmania, and feel responsible for and acknowledge that if we all don’t make a significant effort to reduce our impact on our environment then our beautiful state we call home will not be around in its present pristine form for generations to come.
As an environmentally conscious business in the tourism and transport industry, the past few years have seen significant changes to how we operate our business.
The biggest change for Red Decker Company has been the introduction of two new environmentally friendly, wheelchair accessible open topper double decker buses which were added to our fleet in 2014 & early 2016. They have not only added greatly to the tourist experience but contain the latest zero emission technology.
