Mexico City is one of the most polluted places on Earth and a large contributor to the smog is traffic. They’ve introduced a bus rapid transit system that has had some effect and now Mexico has its own hybrid vehicle manufacturer. Vehizero have already introduced a light delivery vehicle and taxi that save money by not only using 40% of the fuel but through road tax rebates and lower insurance thanks to improved anti- theft systems. They plan to introduce a larger truck, bus and small personal transport by 2010.
