Ethanol Fuel Cells and Taxis
Background
The majority of taxis in the UK currently rely on the internal combustion engine for power using either petrol or diesel. However with restrictions on their use planned for London, and potentially other areas, interest in the use of hybrid and 100% electric vehicles is growing.
A new company, Fair Air, is proposing a direct ethanol fuel cell as a potential source of energy for a 100% electric vehicle with taxis its target market. Ethanol is relatively cheap and is already commercially produced with existing forecourts able to be upgraded to handle this product.
Following on from research undertaken with London black cabs, and to assist with our understanding of the wider potential market for such a vehicle, would you be able to complete the questions below? All responses will be treated in confidence.
