UBER ADDS 2,000 'GREEN' CARS IN UK

UBER is adding 2,000 extra electric cars to its operations in the UK as part of its pledge to operate a fully green zero-carbon fleet in London by 2025.

Made in Sunderland, the new Nissan LEAFS will be offered to Uber drivers as part of the company's Clean Air Plan, launched last year to support the transition to electric vehicles.

The ride hailing service will continue to operate in London while it appeals Transport for London's decision not to grant it a new license due to repeated safety failures.
