Stretch Limo Rental..
The New York Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) is to be applauded for its unanimous passage of new clean cars rules! The new rules will change the ‘fleet’ of for-hire vehicles in New York. Starting January 1, 2009 limousines will be required to average at least 25 miles per gallon and 30 miles per gallon from January 1, 2010. These rules are designed to lower emissions resulting in cleaner air and will save drivers money as fuel costs continue to rise.
Today the city has over 920 hybrid taxis on its streets, and Mayor Bloomberg has mandated that the entire fleet change to high-mileage, low-emissions vehicles by 2012. Between yellow taxis and limousines, more than 23,000 TLC regulated cars will be required to be more efficient. This will create the cleanest, greenest large city limousine fleet in the world and result in substantial emissions reductions for the City.
Limousines often spend significant amounts of time idling in front of their clients' buildings. An idling vehicle emits twenty times more pollution than one travelling thirty-two miles per hour. Changing these vehicles to hybrids, which have minimal emissions while idling, will greatly improve New York's air quality. The proposal's high mileage standards are currently only attainable through hybrid technology.
The most popular vehicle used as a limousine is the ‘Lincoln Town Car.’ It is EPA-rated at 15 miles per gallon in city driving, whereas equivalent hybrid vehicles can achieve twice this mileage and pollute far less. Many drivers report 11 mpg with the Lincoln Town Cars in real world conditions, whereas the two-wheel drive Escape Hybrid (now being used as a yellow cab in the city) achieves more than 30 miles per gallon in city driving and close to 500 miles per tank of fuel.
As the regulations do not select a specific technology in order to achieve these requirements, future technologies will be able to be incorporated into New York's fleets. New York, often perceived as a trend setter is leading the way on introducing fuel efficient limousines. We can all do our part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by modifying our driving styles, choosing fuel efficient vehicles and even when hiring a limo, so contact HireLimos now.
