As the "city business card" taxies are a most directly perceived showcase of a city. As the capital of China Beijing will have new generation taxies by the year 2008 when the Olympics is held. By now fashionable and colorful taxies have appeared on the streets of Beijing. They bring with them not only convenience for the citizens but also improvement in the city's overall image. They have made contribution to bettering the appearance of Beijing. Several thousand Sonatas and Elantras are already running on the streets of Beijing.
The new taxies and most buses have already been using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as fuel, which creates much less air pollution. The move contributes much to improving the atmospheric environment in Beijing and the safety of taxies.
On August 28 last year the Beijing municipal communications committee began to collect opinions on the exterior color of Beijing's taxies and finally decided that the China Beijing series with a modified yellow as basic color was the most welcome. Therefore the China Beijing series was chosen as the solution for updating taxi colors.
