This 100% women-owned company deploys emissions-reduction technologies across their fleet, including secondary diesel polishing device and emissions slicing devices called “Blades” which are fitted to the tailpipes of the petrol vehicles. The Green Cab furthermore sequestrates the residual emissions and certifies, in conjunction with The Carbon Protocol of South Africa, that their service is carbon-neutral.
