Electric taxis allowed on Edinburgh streets after licensing change



Electric taxis could soon be on Edinburgh’s streets after licensing conditions were changed.

Earlier this week, the council’s regulatory committee agreed to change the requirements.

It means electricity-powered cars can now be used as both taxis and private hire vehicles.

Cllr Gavin Barrie said: "The report recommended a change to the licensing rules because the current conditions, which were set in 2006, allowed cars powered by liquid fuel only.

"This change will take into account advances in vehicle performance technology, and will give drivers the option of using cars that can be less damaging to the environment and will improve air quality, through reductions in harmful carbon emissions."

Looks like the EU barstards are up to their tricks again....it's another kick in the goolies for almost everybody that drives.

Those Twarts need hanging...We really would be better off leaving that asylum once and for all before they bankrupt each and every one of us.
