Well ive watching the news lately with a fellow with a Lexus RX400h winging about the NSW governments unwilligness to certify hybrid as appopriate taxi's.
Now today i see that the government will approve Prius in the fleet. http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/Ar...ID=45936&vf=12 OK, but i cant see hybrid taxi will cope with taxi service and even if they do when they reach the end of fleet life after say 4 years, they will need to be crushed with their lead batteries. The news story the other day on channel 9 by the way, made the impression that our current taxis where planet killing tools of destruction- Well id wager that an LPG Falcons would have to be one of the most enviromentally frinedly car there is- What other car can run LPG cutting smog emissions whilst in service, put up with Taxi service for 7 years without needing to be scrapped and then live as an ex-taxi for a private owner after that. Guess this aint really a great story- But whats everyones opinions on Hybrid taxis
