You see them regularly in London, I’d say 5% of taxis have switched or thereabouts. It only launched in the last year.

- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoThat's great to hear, I have to admit it's over a year since I was last in London. That said, the odds of getting run over by a black cab were already quite high so hopefully they're not totally silent. ;)
- Brakenshire 8y agoWhen I picture a black cab I don’t picture it actually moving, their traditional role is surely to line the streets or sit in traffic with the engine running, decorating the air with particulates.
- Milner08 8y agoThere are also a few electric-only buses rolling out. Along with a lot of them being hybrid with auto start-stop now so they aren't polluting while in traffic. Id like to see more of them move to electric only though!
- Angostura 8y agoFrom January 2018 all new taxis had to be zero-emission capable (ZEC), with an official CO2 emissions figure of no more than 50 g/km, and a minimum zero-tailpipe emission range of 30 miles. You're not allowed to have a taxi older than 15 years.
