BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 4. Electric cabs will be used along with electric buses at COP29 in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
According to the information, these are LEVC TX5 London hybrid cabs with LEVC TX5 plug-in electric motors manufactured in China. The charging time for these Euro-6 standard vehicles is 30 minutes. Only with an electric motor, they can drive 130 kilometers, and with a connected gasoline generator - 600 kilometers. The car is equipped with modern safety systems, such as emergency braking, tire pressure monitoring system, and recognition of road signs.
Using a cab with an electric motor significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional gasoline and diesel engines. This is important in terms of combating climate change. The use of such cabs helps to reduce air pollution in cities. This is especially relevant in regions where urbanization is accelerating.
Electric motor vehicles produce less noise than gasoline and diesel vehicles. This creates a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere in the urban environment and significantly reduces fuel costs. The development of the electric cab system opens up new business opportunities. The demand for maintenance and specialists for electric motors, batteries and the infrastructure to charge them will increase.
The establishment of charging stations will lead to the development of infrastructure related to energy production and the modernization of the power grid. Clean air and reduced sound pollution can help reduce chronic diseases, having a positive impact on public health.
The use of electric cabs can help people understand the importance of sustainable transportation and encourage them to take more steps in this direction. The production of motors and batteries for these vehicles can open up new opportunities for domestic manufacturers and specialists. The proliferation of electric vehicles allows for more efficient approaches to energy production and the integration of renewable energy.
Overall, the use of electric motorized cabs in Azerbaijan during COP29 has many positive environmental, economic, social, and technological aspects. This initiative is an important step in terms of strengthening the country's climate policy, maintaining the ecological balance, and supporting social development. The expansion of the use of electric cabs can play a key role in creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation system in the future.
