Óscar Vivanco, director of the financing organization, also revealed that since the 'Taxi Metropolitano' program was relaunched two months ago, 265 taxi drivers have taken advantage of the program in order to purchase a new vehicle powered by natural gas. The announcements were made during a ceremony held yesterday during which a client was rewarded with a brand new car for paying his credit on time.
The prize was delivered in the first 'Taxi Show' fair, which takes place at the Minka mall in Callao. It is part of the
'Taxi Metropolitano' program relaunch, which offers a wide range of vehicle brands for the capital city’s public transport. Through the plan, the driver will pay the cost of vehicle with his work, that is to say, it will be deducted from the daily consumption of CNG, because the product is connected with intelligent filling system operated by Cofide (Financial Corporation for Development).
Six car dealers take part in the first 'Taxi Show' held until 6 August. The fair provides opportunities for taxi drivers to renew its vehicles and to comply with standards established by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, while improving the taxi service, with new eco-friendly units.
