London taxis are becoming environmentally friendly. The traditional London black taxi is made by Manganese Bronze. The company has launched the new TX4 model. The new taxi meets European Union pollution standards. That is good news for London taxi drivers. There are 17,000 taxis that do not meet these standards.
But it is also good news for Manganese Bronze. The company expects to sell a lot more cars. And not just in London. The company has just signed an agreement with a Chinese manufacturer. This means 20,000 cars will be sold to hotels and taxi companies in Shanghai. There are 23,000 black cabs in London. The first taxi appeared in London in 1662.
