Hybrids could join taxi fleets
More progress in New York City...
Quote:
The [New York] city Taxi & Limousine Commission yesterday made way for six car models that hacks will soon be able to convert into taxis, in a move touted as a boon for clean air and higher fuel efficiency...
The six taxi commissioners at yesterday's meeting did not vote to approve the cars, but rather directed agency officials to draft a set of rules permitting them. Those are likely to be drafted by the end of the summer, and the commission is expected to pass them in early September...
Besides the Lexus, the other vehicles are the Ford Explorer/ Mercury Mariner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Prius, Honda Accord and Honda Civic.
