   Sherbet wholly supports an urgent increase in the rapid charging network to keep London moving cleanly and sustainably.

   [dt_divider style=”thick” /]

    

   We want to make it easier for Londoners to switch from diesel to electric taxis as a key part of reducing toxic emissions. The Mayor’s ambition of London becoming a zero-emission city is fast becoming a reality. We are an all-electric and accessible taxi fleet that offers a green transport solution to businesses and customers in London.

    

   Speaking at the launch of the London EV Infrastructure Delivery Plan at the Institution of Engineering and Technology today, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said:

   ‘London’s air is so dirty and polluted that it amounts to nothing less than a serious public health crisis. It breaches legal limits and blights the lives of Londoners, resulting in thousands of premature deaths every year. We are also facing a climate emergency that threatens the long-term security and wellbeing of every Londoner.

   We need to reject the fossil fuels of the past and embrace an electric revolution in London’s transport. To truly transform the quality of our air and to tackle the climate crisis London must move away from petrol and diesel cars, with their catastrophic impact on the environment, and towards zero- emission vehicles.

   I want London to lead the world in this ambition, with all new cars and vans on London roads to meeting these standards by 2030, not 2040 as the government is proposing. To make this vision a reality we must make sure all Londoners have access to the essential infrastructure required to run and maintain an electric vehicle. This is a massive operation and can only be achieved if the public and private sector come together to deliver London’s electric future.’

2. Accessibility of Electric Taxis

   June 5, 2019 1:54 pm Comments Off on Accessibility of Electric Taxis

   

   With the introduction of the newest technology of emission-free vehicles, London taxis provide an environmentally friendly and high-quality service

   [dt_divider style=”thick” /]

   Our unique combination of offering environmentally friendly Electric taxis, professionally trained chauffeurs and in-depth knowledge of London means our comprehensive range of services are valued by discerning business and private customers throughout the city of London. We offer a truly personal service with drivers and customer service who take pride in the level of care and attention paid to make sure passengers enjoy the best possible customer experience using Sherbet RIDE.

   The fact that the experience of using black cabs in London has improved significantly with the introduction of the new environmentally-friendly electric taxis, which replace the existing TX model, has been recognised by the press. However, there is very little coverage about Electric taxi accessibility.

   Many passengers want to know certain safety details such as how much headroom there is in the doorway, how sturdy the ramp is and what the turning circle inside is like.

   Our accessibility trained professional Electric taxi drivers will have the ramp ready for passengers who use a wheelchair at arrival. The ramp is sturdy and can handle up to 250kg and is suitable for the majority of wheelchair users. For a hassle-free experience, the ramp is located in between the floor of the taxi and can take just a few seconds to be taken out, set up, and slid away.

   

   In contrast with the old TX’s, all-electric taxis benefit from large headroom and space inside which makes turning a wheelchair around and travelling forwards or backwards very easy.

   The interior floor is completely flat, without intrusion, and covered in a slip-resistant material. What’s more, electric taxis have a simpler set of restraining belts to hold a wheelchair in place, longer than usual high-visibility handles and seat edges, swivel seats for easy access, a hearing loop on the intercom system and a built-in step to help passengers get into the door.

   The rear-hinged passenger door opens a full 90 degrees to create a large, un-obtruded aperture with a minimum width at its narrowest point of 80cm.

   In conclusion, Electric taxis are significantly more accessible than other TX models on the road. Both drivers and passengers can benefit from the newest safety and technology features in environmentally friendly low emission vehicles.

5. ULEZ IN LONDON – IS YOUR BUSINESS READY?

   April 11, 2019 1:42 pm Comments Off on ULEZ IN LONDON – IS YOUR BUSINESS READY?

   

   With ULEZ launch on the 8th April, we are committed to reducing air pollution on London’s roads with our fleet of Electric Taxis

   [dt_divider style=”thick” /]

    

   Since the 8th of April 2019, a new Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is in place in Central London, demanding most vehicles to meet tighter exhaust emission standards or be liable to a daily charge. This may affect many businesses based in the ULEZ zone.

   Our CEO and Founder Asher Moses says:

   ‘We are committed to playing our part in helping replace traditional diesel taxis with 21st-century electric taxis which represent an environmental benefit to the people of London and the planet. Already the largest fleet of electric taxis in London, our ambition is to grow to 1,000 electric vehicles nationwide over the next three years – helping to protect our environment for future generations to enjoy.’

    

   Our electric taxis (which are ultra-low emission vehicles) provide you with stylish, comfortable transport and help your company reduce its carbon footprint. As well as providing wheelchair access, they feature a suite of in-cab technology – including Wi-Fi, charging points, panoramic sunroof, air-con, and a privacy compartment.

    

    

   With ULEZ zone 2019 introduction most vehicles are liable for a daily charge to drive in central London. It might be targeted at improving air quality and reducing city congestion, but it gives us all a chance to make a positive change in our ecosystems and switch to the low emission Future of Commuting. That’s why Sherbet is offering a free consultation to businesses based in the ULEZ zone and wider London area explaining how the new requirements can impact your business and how we can help reduce your carbon footprint by using our Electric and locally sourced Taxis.

7. Ethos Asset Finance Campaign on Sherbet Electric Taxi

   April 1, 2019 9:59 am Comments Off on Ethos Asset Finance Campaign on Sherbet Electric Taxi

   A leading UK asset finance firm is plugging into the green taxi revolution being led by tougher legislation and environmentally-conscious passengers.

   [dt_divider style=”thick” /]

   Over the first quarter of 2019,  Ethos Asset Finance –  one of the country’s principal finance providers to the taxi, chauffeur and private hire sectors – has seen enquiries for the sourcing and funding of electric cabs rise by 15 per cent.

   The London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) – which makes electric black cabs – reported that in the traditionally quiet month of October (2018) it had sold 172 electric taxis across the UK, 160 of which were purchased through its London dealership.

   And with Transport for London introducing legislation that requires all new taxi services operating in the capital to be zero-emissions capable, it is forecast that by the end of 2020 some 9,000 of the city’s 21,000 taxis would be electric.

   To raise awareness that finance for electric cabs is available to cabbies, Ethos Asset Finance has sponsored Sherbet London LEVC-built taxi to cleanly – and quietly – operate around the streets of London.

   Chris Brown, who set up Ethos Asset Finance in 2007 after two decades in the banking industry, said:

   “Over the last 12 years, we have become the ‘go to’ finance expert for firms and individuals operating in the taxi, chauffeur and private hire sectors. In the early days, we were purely financing petrol and diesel cars, but over recent years these are steadily being overtaken by hybrid and electric vehicles. In the first quarter of this year, we have seen a sharp rise in enquiries for electric taxis – in particular LEVC black cabs. We see this as very much a growth sector for us, one for us to plug into. And thanks to our reputation, those seeking finance for electric cabs are making a beeline for Ethos Asset Finance.”

   

   

   As a part of the campaign Sherbet Ride provided an exclusive pick up – drop off service for Ethos Finance Managing Director and owner Chris Brown during his visit to London. Chris enjoyed his journey in the Eco friendly Ethos Asset Finance branded electric taxi equipped with 4G WiFi, charging points and air-con.
