New taxis will be energy efficient
Since September 15, 2009 a new regulation has been in effect requiring taxis to fulfil a sudden level of energy efficiency. Based on the well known energy classes for cars the law prescribes the following for taxis:
Taxis designed for max 5 adults: Energy class C
Taxis designed for 6-7 adults: Energy class D
Taxis designed for 8-9 adults: Energy class F
Below you will find a table showing fuel consumption per class.

Fuel reduction of 7 millions
Today the Danish fleet of taxis consists of 75 % cars designed for 5 adults. Of these only 7 % is in energy class C. Centre for Green Transport has calculated that the fuel reduction will be equal to 7 million litres per year, when the complete fleet meets the new requirements.
Energy labelling has been used for many years in connection with cars
