Taxis typically drive 60,000 miles or more per year, operate within 30 miles of their home base in urban areas that benefit from reduced emissions, and are highly visible to the public. They can be centrally fueled as well. These characteristics make them ideal for alternative fuel and advanced vehicle technologies that can reduce taxi fleets' operational costs while improving air quality and public image.
