NYC’s Yellow Cabs Plan to Go Hybrid within 5 Years
Today mayor Bloomberg announced that the city’s yellow cabs plan to switch to hybrids within five years.
Bloomberg stated that “there’s an awful lot of taxicabs on the streets of New York City… these cars just sit there in traffic sometimes, belching fumes.”
Over the past 18 months the city has been testing models, including the Toyota Prius, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, the Lexus RX 400h and the Ford Escape.
