Diesel Sedan A Good Start

FUTURE LIVERY VEHICLE? The BMW 730d proves luxury and green can make for a good horse and carriage.

BUT. . . the $200,000 price tag puts it out of reach as a profitable vehicle for most US operators. Which is why I use the qualifier of "future."

The BMW 730d may be available now, but technology needs to continue evolving to make this concept more affordable. Greener, sophisticated luxury vehicles are on the right path but still have a long way to travel to achieve the right economies of scale for operators.

Until then, the more vehicle choices, the better. CLICK HERE for article. CLICK HERE for photo gallery. -- M.R.
