I believe that from 2018, all new London taxis will have to be zero emission capable.
On the other hand, the "capable" may be weasel wording. It seems that the taxi being discussed is a hybrid with quite a short range (70 miles?). It can be recharged at a point, but can also be recharged via its petrol engine, which may run for lengthy periods if there are no quick charging points available (not many at the moment in London).
Seems like a smallish step in the right direction.
