Toyota continues to be regarded as the best car manufacturer, despite the numerous recalls that have impacted its reputation in recent years. A Prius hybrid that was owned by “EcoTaxi”, a cab company based in Vienna, Austria, is an example of this assertion. Since its inception, the vehicle has clocked more than 1M kilometers.
The taxi company has more than 200 Prius hybrids. This impressive milestone was not financially burdensome as the car didn’t need any major repairs. EcoTaxi claims that the vehicle had no “defects or glitches” during its time as a taxi car. It only needed regular maintenance. The taxi company hopes to achieve the 2Mkm mark in the next few decades.
