Hamburg Leads the Way: Banning Combustion Engine Taxis by 2025 to Reduce CO2 Emissions
Hamburg is set to become the first state in Germany to ban combustion engine taxis by 2025. This move is expected to save 25,000 tons of CO2 annually and has received positive feedback from both taxi companies and passengers. Currently, 12% of Hamburg’s taxis are electric or hydrogen-powered. The project ‘Zukunftstaxi’ was launched in 2021 with the aim of encouraging the switch to locally emissions-free taxis.
Emissions-free Benefits
The advantages of emissions-free technology are numerous. Firstly, it eliminates the need for fossil fuels, which are the largest contributor to air pollution and global warming. Secondly, it is more cost effective than traditional energy sources, as there are no associated fuel costs or maintenance fees. Finally, emissions-free technology produces zero carbon dioxide emissions, making it a much more sustainable option for powering homes and businesses.You might also like this article: Hello World.
