Aiyah at least Prime is trying to do something different. Provide some variety in the market. If they succeed against the big boys, it only means that they are doing something right

Start small, grow bigger and stronger as time passes lor.

Soon, their prices are going to be the same.

The prices for the 7 seaters and Camry are already following the "Market Rate".

while I was working in m'sia, I used a lot of their public taxi (the red and white types). The taxi driver told me that a FULL TANK of CNG can only travel approx 160km before they have to refill again. In KL only Petronas has CNG and only limited stations ( I think 4 stations in KL) have them. Beside that, those stations that have CNG pump operates half of the pumps during each time thus the long queue (but thats another debate/problem altiogether). COming back to SG, do we know

1. the tank size of those camry taxi or even the approved ones for private cars? What I am interested is the estimated km per tank one can achieve before the need to refill.

2. The cost of CNG per litre? Not sure if CNG is measured in Litre.

Why don't they use Hybrid Taxis like the Toyota Prius? I heard the fuel consumption is amazing, esp. with city driving.

My understanding is that hybrid uses a combo of electric and petrol (electric kicks in when its at cruising speed? or above x speed, or above x rpm?). My only assumption is that the frequency (the battery pack dont last as long as the cars) and the cost of the battery maintenance is high today. This is what I am hearing on the street. How much dollar on petrol are we really saving with these cars? I have NOT seen any numbers yet. IF you are a 'green' person, then mebbie there is a reason to buy (plus the rebate from LTA).

Today a normal car battery (maintenance free Amaron) which will last about 1 - 2 years will set you back approx 100SGD. Some of us already grumbling so what if you have to change the battery pack on the hybrid every 5 years at a cost of 3000SGD? Will you still consider? Similiarly why arent we going solar in our home? The battery is the killer cost for solar setup as well.
