Taxis: New Heralds of Automotive Electrification

For decades, automakers have associated their image with that of taxis, a symbol of reliability and efficiency.

Mercedes has long been the absolute reference in this sacred union between manufacturers and taxis, through strategic partnerships by referencing high-end fleets. Today, this dynamic is renewing itself with a focus on ecological transition, and G7 perfectly illustrates this evolution with a fleet that is over 90% hybrid or electric. As a leader in the taxi industry in France, G7 has been committed since 2007 to reducing CO2 emissions through G7 Green, a fleet consisting of hybrid and electric vehicles. The company aims for this range to become entirely ecological by 2027. With 10,000 drivers trained in environmental issues, G7 Green stands out as a reference in sustainable mobility.

To support professionals in this transition, G7 has developed strategic partnerships with manufacturers like Toyota, which has committed to providing 2,500 100% electric vehicles by 2030. These agreements allow drivers to access high-performance models under favorable conditions, notably through long-term rental offers tailored to the needs of taxis.

At the same time, G7 collaborates with Electra, a French specialist in ultra-fast charging, to offer effective charging solutions. Drivers can recharge their vehicles in 15 minutes and benefit from preferential rates, a crucial time and money saving in their daily lives.

The available models, such as the BMW i5 or the Lexus ES, are both high-performing, quiet, and comfortable. Passengers enjoy a pleasant ride while reducing their environmental impact, without any additional cost compared to regulated rates. For drivers, electric vehicles represent lower operating costs and a significant reduction in maintenance and fuel expenses.

With the share of electric vehicles already exceeding the French average, G7 highlights the concrete benefits of this transition, reinforcing its role as a major player in the evolution of urban mobility.
