Hybrid Vehicles

Here’s our top five cars for PHVs in 2026!

Companies that take charge of their EV transition are the ones that have a clear vision of their destination and how to reach it.

As fleets begin the process of phasing out diesel HGVs, the change in direction for sales is starting to accelerate.

With the government’s push towards greener transport, taxi drivers are increasingly weighing the benefits of switching from petrol/diesel to electric vehicles.

There are approximately 31 million petrol and diesel cars on the UK’s roads.

Vehicle manufacturers are limited when it comes to producing greener cars, vans and lorries, but owners have much more choice to make their fleets green.

In 10 years, all new vehicles sold in the UK must produce zero emissions, including taxis and PHVs.

Councils are planning to ban petrol and diesel taxis and PHVs in a bid to cut pollution in several towns and cities.

As one authority moves towards letting private hire drivers use a bus lane on a busy route, we look at why they aren’t allowed to use them in the first place, and what happens to drivers who ignore the rules.

As we continue the drive towards cutting pollution, a vehicle’s green credentials are top of the list for taxi drivers when it’s time to change their cabs.

While their new vehicle has to be suited to private-hire taxi work, its emissions are now just as important to drivers as the amount of room for passengers and luggage.

Taxi drivers have had their say on plans to ban petrol and diesel cabs in Reading from 2028.

Consultation on Reading Borough Council’s Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Strategy 2023-28 ended recently, with one of the main goals being to “phase out the use of petrol and diesel-only cars and vehicles in an effort to improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions”.

As the drive for cleaner motoring continues, taxi drivers are already ahead of the curve when it comes to using less-polluting vehicles.

The Government’s Taxi and private hire vehicle statistics, England: 2023 report, which was published last month, offers a fascinating insight into the makeup of the taxi and private hire fleets.
