The Seoul Metropolitan Government started a test-run of LPI (Liquefied Petroleum Injection) hybrids from Hyundai-Kia Motors ( earlier post ) as taxis on 3 December. The Korea National Joint Conference of Taxi Association will select participating taxi companies and support the monitoring of its operation.
It was late last year when a NYC taxi fleet operator bought its first Tesla Model 3 yellow cab. The EV experiment was well-received by both the taxi drivers and their passengers. Since then, the taxi company, Drive Sally, has added four more Model 3s to the fleet. […]. Originally published on Tesla Oracle & EV Annex.
Singapore will implement a new Carbon Emissions-Based Vehicle Scheme (CEV) on 1 January 2012, providing rebates to qualified new cars, taxis, and imported used cars with low carbon emissions, and imposing an equivalent surcharge on higher emitting vehicles. CEV bandings (Singapore dollars).
LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) has announced an enhancement for its TX taxi and VN5 light van, with both vehicles benefitting from a larger and more efficient battery.
Technical roadmap of bus,taxi, and car for peaking the CO2 emissions at 2030 or before. The researchers also offered a number of suggestions: The energy consumption per unit passenger turnover of buses, taxis and cars need to decrease by 51%, 50% and 44%, respectively. Natural gas taxis are expected to account for 54% in 2050.
Because TNCs operate differently than traditional transportation modes such as buses, trains, or taxis, the impact on future trends of GHG emissions and VMT on a per passenger mile basis is uncertain. Although the vehicles employed by TNCs make up 2.5% of the vehicle population, they are growing at a rapid pace.
The proposals include a lightweight, driverless electric bus; a system to improve the efficiency of urban freight transport; a bus-taxi hybrid (a “buxi”); a low carbon, community-managed car club; plus two variants of lightweight, single seat electric vehicles. It combines the efficiency of a bus with the flexibility of a taxi.
Other measures that will help the industry include lightweight cabin gear, seat design, taxiing on one engine, scheduling of flights in optimal conditions and improved air traffic controls. New aircraft models using lightweight materials have been instrumental in 1.5% annual fuel efficiency improvements since 2010.
Boeing and Kitty Hawk also formed Wisk, a joint venture to advance the future of urban air mobility with more than 1,500 test flights of its self-flying, all-electric air taxi. Program goals include ensuring 100% compatibility with SAF and hydrogen.
In late April 2015, Geely Auto deployed a first-of-its-kind fleet of 150 methanol-fueled taxis in the southern Chinese city of Guiyang in cooperation with the municipal government. The company is proactively working with partners across China to expand the use of methanol-fueled vehicles.

London could save four thousand tonnes of CO2 emissions every week if all of the capital’s black cabs were fully electric, new research commissioned by the UK low carbon motor, EcoVelocity reveals. The show set to take place between September 8-11, 2011 at Battersea Power Station, calculated the figure based on the total CO2 emissions [.].
Under high travel scenarios (fleet use, deliveries, taxis), one might expect that a market already exists for electric cars if potential buyers have confidence in the advertised driving ranges and dealer support for these vehicles. generate fewer lifecycle CO2 emissions than comparable fossil-fueled. However, except in some cases.
A Denver-Colorado based Bye Aerospace has unveiled an 8-seat all-electric twin turbo-prop-class airplane eFlyer 800 which aims at the air taxi, air cargo, regional and character aircraft markets. Bye says that it has several customers lined up for the new models including US and European air taxi, cargo and character services.
Sweden has long been the envy of Europe in terms of its environmental reputation and now its taxi fleets are getting in on the act. The Taxi Stockholm firm has stepped up its natural gas taxi fleet by ordering 350 natural gas vehicles which will be fuelled by bio-methane - and it is expected that more will follow.
To learn from its experience, let’s look back through Norway’s 30-year journey to becoming an EV giant: it all started with a mission to curb the country’s CO2 emissions. Curbing CO2 Emissions with Electric Transport. By 2023, all taxis are set to be emission-free and the wireless system will help support this goal.
Looking at Japan first, the company has received an award from the Japanese government to conduct a pilot project in Tokyo for the world’s first electric taxis with switchable batteries. It will partner with Nihon Kotsu, the capital city’s largest taxi operator. Design of the facility is expected to begin in 2011.

Locally, Toyota has yet to even put a BEV on-sale and, of course, it makes a fortune out of CO2 and particulate-emitting diesel SUVs and utes. However, there is life in the project with further testing about to kick off in Thailand where a fleet of HiLux EVs are being pressed into service as share taxis.
Local DCFC: Factors affecting the equity of EV charging DC Fast Charging is needed in support of transportation services users (taxis, Uber, Lyft, etc…) and for local fleets used by multi-unit dwelling residents, intercity travelers, and local individual EV owners. Access both in and out should be easy, including for medium-duty EVs.
It is also hoped that the technology will be trialled in a licensed taxi along with 20 TFL vehicles driven by road engineers, highway inspectors and traffic managers. It is believed by University of Leeds researchers that the social benefits of the accident savings far outweigh any CO2 reduction benefits.
Many studies show that battery electric vehicles (BEV) produce approximately 80% less CO2 emissions over their lifetime (including manufacturing and recycling) compared to an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV). Businesses in NZ are setting new targets for their fleets to reduce CO2 emissions and driving down fleet costs.
Although these introduced some BEV taxes for the first time, mostly falling on heavy and expensive BEV models, taxes fell harder still on vehicles with CO2 emissions. Recall that new tax changes have applied from January 1st.
Their electric vehicles have completed 250 million km, which are oil and emission fee transportation, saving 25,000 metric tons of CO2 which is very impressive. Startups like like EEE Taxi, Lithium Urban Technologies, Ryde have recorded a drop in business in 2020. We hope 2021 will be better for electric car fleets.
Successful schemes should be designed to capture CO2, fuel economy, NOx and safety benefits. Further, the public sector can also adopt procurement rules that encourage EV-uptake in the private sector, such as weighting requirements towards electric for the providers of services such as taxis, couriers and freight. .
Autonomous taxi? And also for CO2 and sustainability, because Semis are driven all the time. The rate of improvement is rapid. It might be the biggest asset value appreciation history when you can do unsupervised or Full Self-Driving. Unknown Analyst: Sounds like a story stock.
