Zero Emission London Cabs in 2012
We all know that among the contributors towards pollution and harmful emissions are public utility vehicles such as cabs all over the world. An immediate solution would be to ticket the or ban them but that would be like taking out majority of the modes of public transportation for people on the go.
With that in mind, Lotus, a known maker of finest speed machines, has vowed to shift their focus on green motoring and are planning eco-friendly taxi cabs roving the streets of London by 2012.
The design will use an electric motor, powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. By 2014, Lotus says it’ll be introducing it to other cities.
Testing on the new cars is due to start in the next 18 months, while Lotus also works with Jaguar on a separate project, to create an eco-friendly limousine.
It’s intended that the green limo will crank out carbon dioxide emissions below 120g per kilometre, using a petrol engine and special electric motor.
