Phoenix Taxis & Minicoaches

General information

Phoenix were the first taxi firm in the UK to put Nissan’s LEAF on as a taxi. The LEAF emits no carbon during journeys, and there is no negative impact on the environment whatsoever whilst the car is running. As electric vehicle pioneers, we’ve managed to cut our carbon footprint by a third since 2010 (figures last checked September 2013), despite almost doubling our financial turnover, and dramatically increasing our fleet size.

Our commitment to doing what we can to limit our impact on the environment is no flash in the pan - we've been running vehicles on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) since 1997, and since 2009 we've rapidly integrated a range of Hybrid vehicles to our fleet. We have managed to gain IS0140001 accreditation for our environmental management processes, and we constantly look for ways to reduce our impact. We purchase vehicles new and consider CO2 emissions as an integral factor in deciding whether to add a vehicle to our fleet - we are only interested in progressive vehicular technologies, efficient in terms of both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
