I-CVUE Project: the perspective of electric-taxis

Antwerp | IRU event | Invitation only

IRU Projects announces the third I-CVUE Workshop on electric taxis.

Taxis are an essential part of mobility, circulating constantly. However, this also means that they produce emissions. The taxi sector makes the ideal testing ground for new technologies. Several European cities have already instituted a low-emissions zones and this will grow fast. Taxis have an interest to be prepared for it from today.
