Black cabs to turn green: London is set to get a new generation of low-pollution electric taxis, as these latest proposals show

摘要

Three new low-pollution London black cabs were unveiled in the capital last week as the mayor of London announced stringent environmental regulations for future licensed taxi designs. British-based engineering company Frazer-Nash showed the new Metrocab, while Turkish-based Karsan displayed an engineering prototype and styling models and Chinese-owned London Taxi Company announced that it would build a new generation of the classic TX4. All of the proposals are powered by extended-range electric drivetrains.
