Phoenix Taxis, the largest electric and hybrid taxi company in the UK, has made an exciting electric addition to its fleet.
The Northumberland-based firm has purchased a Tesla S, a premium electric car, as a luxury addition to its executive range of cars.
The £80,000 car is currently the one available as a taxi in the north of England.
Managing director, Alex Hurst, said: “The Tesla is a very exciting and welcome addition to our executive service. Excellent service has proven fundamental to the success of our business, and we are always looking for ways to improve the customer experience.
“We genuinely care about the environment and are driven by a passion to reduce our carbon footprint and have done this consistently through the years by investing in new technology and exploring alternative fuel resources to petrol or diesel.
