another rivetting story from North of the Border

WEST Dunbartonshire Council has removed the minimum engine size requirement for taxi and private hire cars.

The move is designed to stay at pace with developments which have seen more vehicles become more fuel efficient such as hybrid vehicles, or electric cars.

As a result, the old requirement, which demanded vehicles for taxi or private car hire use have a minimum capacity of 1600cc, will no longer be enforced.

A report which went before members of WDC’s licensing committee read: “It is now becoming more common for vehicles to be produced using smaller more fuel efficient diesel and petrol engines, hybrid technology, or recently purely electric engines.

Impressed the 21st century has finally arrived in that area.
