It’s good to know that Maruti is heading towards green technologies at an incredible pace. Wearing a green conscience, the company has introduced green cabs in India. Presently, these cabs will only be seen on the roads of Andhra Pradesh.
What is even more impressive is that this new initiative is started with Maruti’s small car which is an epic model of Maruti as well as Indian automotive industry. Yes, the company has launched the green cabs for urban motoring on the M800 AC Duo.
Powered by dual fuels and being factory fitted, the car is definitely economical and safe compared to other taxis. But would it be successful in the Indian market, where cabs are considered to be spacious with excellent leg room, shoulder room, and cabin space for the comfort of passengers and tourists.
Though, the cabs interiors are spruced up with functional and luxurious car accessories along with the advanced GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) system linked to the call centre for monitoring car’s movement. But yet, the space factor places a big question on the small yet efficient Maruti 800.
It is a good step taken by Maruti. I think even other taxi brands should also turn eco-friendly.
"Green" technology is here, to make the environment green and pollution free.Economical, safe an less polluting, surely its gonna bring a change on the indian roads and Indian environment. Now rolling with Maruti 800, they need to change the car model,i suppose, as for cabs space, and comfortability is going to count. May be a bigger car,and a roll in a wider arena not only in a limited "Space".
e-friend, but if the passengers to travel are only two then I dont that the tiny Maruti 800 would create a problem. Its a good car and people can take advanatge of its low cost fare with it.
