Istanbul’s Beyoğlu Municipality and the Istanbul Chamber of Taxi Drivers (İTEO) introduced the first electric taxi service in the country, local media reported.
Sales representative Viacheslav Luchnykov told reporters that the new electric taxis could travel a distance of 300 kilometers on full charge.
“Our target is for between 500 and 600 electric vehicles to be on the road by the end of 2017,” Hurriyet Daily cited Luchnykov as saying.
