London blackcab company runs with biofuel

Posted by admin  Published in Biodiesel

The LTI taxis which are the popular models used in Great Britain (and some other places) as cabs are known for a convinced thirst of fuel, although interior room and city handling are just awesome.

A taxi company in London has decided to improve their green side by running their taxis with a 30 percent of blended biofuel (I assume biodiesel considering all the taxis I’ve seen in the UK ran on diesel). Those cabs will be specially branded with a special sticker on the windscreen.

The company claims that that allows to reduce emissions a 7 percent, which will save around 3,000 tons of

CO2 per year. London Mayor Ken Livingstone supports the initiative: “London already has the best taxi service in the world, and I am working with the taxi trade to manufacture it the cleanest,” he said to the BBC.
