London's iconic black cabs rebrand for electric future

London

HUNDREDS of London's black cabs will start appearing on the roads of Amsterdam next year, powered by batteries instead of diesel fuel, marking the first international sale for Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd's new electric taxi.

Rotterdam Mobility Centre (RMC) agreed a 225-vehicle deal for the new all-electric hackney cab that will meet new pollution rules in the Dutch capital. It will be delivered from a factory near Coventry, England, in the first quarter of 2018, the companies said on Tuesday.
