Biodiesel Taxi

Newquay Taxi News -  Peugeot Now Warranty BioDiesel!

BioTravel are in the process of updating their fleet of taxis to NEW Peugeot Partners and Experts due to the fact that these vehicles are now warranteed for use of 30% Biodiesel!

The new vehicles are substantially more economical than our older vehicles, acheiving over 50mpg around Cornwall.  This will decrease the amount of fuel we use by about 15% and go even further to help our carbon reductions.

Newquay Taxi Innovation

BioTravel are currently researching the potential in using a type of hydrogen cell to decrease fuel consumption even further.  Electricity from the vehicles altenator passes through a distilled water cell and produces 'Browns gas' which is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen which are the constituants of water.  This is then piped into the air intake increasing the combustive capabilities of the air which inturn makes the diesel burn more completely, and giving you more miles per gallon, in theory. 

We are going to try the technology on one of our minibuses this summer to decide whether the technology works or not.  If it does work with no adverse effects, we will approach Peugeot with the results and the hope that they will allow us to fit the units with out voiding any warranty. 

 

The Most Carbon Friendly Taxi Cornwall Has To Offer:

Our taxi and minibus fleet use Biodiesel which is a renewable fuel produced from processed waste vegetable oil and pure Rapeseed.  Biodiesel is virtually Carbon Neutral.  All of the Carbon produced in combustion is reabsorbed by the crops.  This makes BioTravel the most environmentally friendly taxi and minibus company in Cornwall and probably the U.K.

Taxi and Minibuses Prices:

All of our prices are set by the local council and are on meter rates. We are therefore exactly the same price as all of the other taxi companies in our part of Cornwall.

Ethos:

As a taxi and minibus company we have a duty to minimise our impact on the planet.  At present, we are the only taxi and minibus company in Cornwall, with a truly environmental policy.  We are pioneering the use of high concentration biodiesel in modern taxis and minibus vehicles which has not been done before on a large scale, in order to produce a working, profitable and environmentally friendly taxi and minibus company whose template can be copied world over.  In this way, and with your help, a Cornwall taxi and minibus company may be able to have a positive global environmental effect.
