The Zevco Millenium Taxi made it's first trip yesterday morning to an official launch in Westminster.The vehicle based on technology used in space travel, has been developed in Belgium by Zevco, a British company.
The vehicle, which at £27,000 costs £2,500 more than a conventional cab, is cheaper to run. Tests have shown that it can run on £6 worth of hydrogen a day compared to £15 of diesel. Until it is more widely available, however, Londoners are unlikely to see hydrogen stations throughout the capital. |
