With the UK Prime Minister’s latest update on the use of public transport, it is inevitable that our post-Covid-19 future will change the way we live, work, transport, and travel in the UK. People who can’t work from home are still commuting to work with their traditional transport but are impacted by the social distancing rules.
According to the Evening Standard:
The need for keeping a physical distance from others requires that the space in ways of transport must be shared in new ways. There are ways to commute safely, maintaining a 2-meter distance from others, but what is the safest option?
With features like a purpose-built private passenger compartment, glass partition, separately controlled air conditioning, wipe-clean interior, card touch payment, 100% wheelchair accessible and driven by knowledgeable & CRB checked trained drivers – Electric Taxis are the safest form of travel.
They are purpose-built and designed to be frequently cleaned. Electric taxis are also a giant leap forward in clean transportation. They provide a cleaner, more comfortable, and more secure environment for all.
The Low-emission Future
Traffic congestion is set to increase and with insufficient capacity, rising transport demand, and harder to find parking spaces we are experiencing drive in demand for low emission vehicles. In recent years, electric taxis have enjoyed a surge of success in cities around the world, with England (London), Norway (Oslo), and Australia (Sydney) leading the way. Although these cities have many things in common, one key factor is driving this trend: climate change. In the last decade alone, the number of private hire vehicles (PHVs) has increased by 40 percent in London and with them, the carbon emission.
In the wake of ever-increasing reliance on cars and other fossil fuel burning devices, a lot of effort has been put into finding an alternative form of transportation that is safe, energy-efficient, and low emission. Electric taxis are the answer to this need. Modern-day diesel cars emit significantly more harmful nitrogen oxides that can cause respiratory conditions than new, low emission electric taxis. According to Which.co.uk the LEVC has the least output of harmful emissions in comparison to Prius, Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Lexus Hybrid models.
The London Taxi is enjoying a Renaissance. From the traditional ride-hailing service to the latest smartphones and apps – a lot has changed in one hundred years. The old black cab has surged back into life in its new form, revolutionised, while new technology continues to create high-tech electric vehicles.
Everyone is looking forward to moving around more freely again, especially those who are separated from their families. Most ways of travel will, at some point, increase in demand. However, we should choose low and zero-carbon travel alternatives to sustain the unexpected side-effect of the crisis – reduction of air pollution in congested cities.
By choosing Sherbet electric taxis you’re reducing congestion, improving local air quality & helping contribute to a more sustainable future. Driving away from fossil fuels an electric taxi will have a significant impact on a healthier, greener future.
