EcoCity Vehicles has signed up with Mercedes to launch the new eco-friendly
The cab is nothing record-breaking but it has is low CO2 emissions, which is a must for the increasingly eco-conscious city. Details on the cab’s actual emissions are sparse at best, and so this seems to be more of a marketing ploy, putting up a “green” competitor against the classic black cabs that comprise 93% of
EcoCity is also contracted with London Taxi International, whose parent company, Manganese Bronze, recently signed a development agreement with the Tanfield Group to create the TX4E, a zero emission taxi, which means green one-upping is definitely in the cards.

And I disagree with you linking to the congestion charge as "eco-conscious city", as the congestion charge usually results in people taking a longer route to avoid going through the congestion charge zone, (and thus create more pollution).
But I digress, it's going to be the taxi drivers who make the decision on this one, and if this new car doesn't meet there standards, isn't as good as other available hybrids, or they just 'don't like it', then it's not going to take.
