London's Taxi Cabs Go Green



London is famous for their iconic black taxi cabs. Sadly, those cabs have always used a very harmful diesel fuel. Now one of the largest of those taxi makers, Manganese Bronze, has plans to produce an electric version. Business has been bad lately because some cities are refusing to buy the diesel versions due to the emissions.

The cars will be produced in China, have a top speed of 50 miles per hour, and a distance of 100 km per charge. The car is expected to cost £30,000 more than the diesel, but running costs will be significantly less.
