TX4 EURO 5, MORE TOXIC THAN EARLIER MODELS

Some of the most common models of London’s world-famous black cabs are emitting up to 30 times as much pollution as personal cars the same age, research has found.

Measurements of nitrogen oxide (NOx), particulate matter and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from over 100,000 vehicles in London have revealed the “disproportionate impact of black cabs on London’s streets”, The Real Urban Emissions (True) initiative report said.

Some newer models of the black cabs were found to emit even more pollution than older models.

The Chinese-owned London Electric Vehicle Company, formerly known as the London Taxi Company, based near Coventry, was the maker of the TX4 Euro 5 model which was found to produce at least 50 per cent more NOx than either of the company’s earlier Euro 3 or Euro 4 models.
