Spotted on Brunswick Road in Moonee Ponds, a Toyota Prius Hybrid Electric Taxi. A good step towards tackling climate change we think!
TTEC then did some research and found an article in the New South Wales Taxi Driver’s Magazine ‘Meter’ from September of 2007, see www.nswtaxi.org.au/public/meter/Meter%20editions/Meter_August07.pdf It explained that in NSW they have been trialing Hybrid vechiles as taxis since January 2006 and that the results show that drivers could save up to 30% on their fuel bill.
We were unable to find any direct information about the Hybrid Taxis in use in Melbourne, but we did find information from Toyota www.toyota.com.au/hybrid and also information relating to Toyota’s plans to build a new Camry in Melbourne.
We would love a TTEC Hybrid Car, but at the moment they are too expensive! What we would love is a Hybrid Van! For more information on carbon neutral events please CONTACT TTEC!
