This is a perfect example of where out hybrids need to be and should be at all times. Service vehicles get worked harder and more often than any vehicle on the road.
Kudos to the NY Taxi!
![]() :
Ford will provide 50 Escape Hybrids per month to the project, while GM will supply 50 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrids. Nissan has pledged to deliver 200 Altima Hybrids per month. New York already has 1,286 hybrid taxis, about 10% of the 13,227 cabs that cruise the city daily.

Great news. It'll be interesting to see the analysis of emissions saved, average MPG, and all those other statistics versus using non hybrid taxis once these hybrid taxis have been in service for a while.
