A handful of years ago, countries were climbing over each other to announce the year they’d stop selling fossil-powered cars. Things have been quiet on that level in recent years, even as EV market share has surged across the world, but the big first steps on that topic are really conducted by other jurisdictions — cities. Zero-emissions vehicle zones are already making a big difference in some cities, but that isn’t the only way to do it.
Hamburg will be the first state in Germany to ban fossil-powered vehicles from its taxi operations. The ban goes into effect in 2025.At the moment, 65 out of the ~150 cars in Best Taxi’s taxi fleet have already switched to fully battery electric or hydrogen powered, and 34 more have been ordered and are on their way — 34 electric taxis that can be used for people in wheelchairs.
“[T]he industry is ready and willing to leave the combustion engine age behind,” said Transport Senator Anjes Tjarks . “The e-taxis have also proven to be reliable, convenient and cheaper to operate than the combustion-powered taxis.”
