A LONDON-based private hire firm is increasing the number of hybrid vehicles on its fleet following demand from customers.

Greater London Hire (GLH) will take delivery of 12 petrol-electric Toyota Prius, giving a total of 32 hybrids on its 300-strong fleet. Drivers using the Prius are saving £30 to £40 a week on fuel and GLH now has a separate lower tariff for customers using its Prius fleet.
