China Is Replacing 70,000 Taxis With Electric Cars
he Chinese city of Beijing plans to spend $1.3 billion to convert its fleet of 70,000 taxis to electric power.
The move will potentially save the taxi companies money and reduce pollution in the city, which reaches hazardous levels on a semi-regular basis.
THE FUTURE OF TAXIS
Electric vehicles have been growing in popularity among fleet operators, and soon, Beijing may find itself earning a reputation as the hub of the electric taxi. The Chinese city is home to one of the most important taxi fleets in the world, numbering around 70,000, and under a new program for air pollution control that will begin implementation this year, those taxis will be going electric.
