Global Taxis chooses Škoda

By Declan O Byrne On June 14, 2012

Global Taxis, the taxi fleet management company has acquired more than 110 fuel efficient Škoda Octavias.

One of the largest single taxi deals ever in the Republic of Ireland sees Global Taxis operating one of the most environmentally friendly and fuel efficient taxi fleets in the industry.

Speaking at the announcement, Ray Ebbs, of Global Taxis said: “We are delighted on a number of levels, firstly our new Octavia fleet will greatly improve the service we provide to our customers and secondly from a financial perspective savings achieved due to superior fuel economy from the Škoda Octavia will amount to nearly €1,400 per car per year or an incredible €158,000 for the entire fleet”

Noel Ebbs, Managing Director added; “A by-product of fuel economy is reduced emissions and our new fleet reduces our carbon foot print by nearly 20 per cent compared to the outgoing models. All in all our drivers will provide superior service, save a fortune on fuel while being kinder to the environment”

Also present at the announcement, Zac Hollis, Brand Director, Škoda Ireland said: “We are delighted Global Taxis have chosen the Škoda Octavia to replace their existing fleet. It is testament to the quality and value of the Škoda brand when Ireland’s largest taxi fleet operator selects Škoda over any other competitor to front their taxi fleet. This year Global Taxis is celebrating 25-years in business, we wish Ray, Noel and all at Global Taxis the very best for the future with our continued support.”
