The old Mercedes 240 Taxis, which dates back to the 1980s, may soon be replaced by the new Dacia Lodgy, a car that is manufactured in Morocco.
According to Ran When Parked, the government is ready to offer a sum of 50,000 dirhams as a scrapping amount in order to encourage drivers to abandon their old cars and acquire the Dacia Lodgy Minivan.
Moreover, Group Renault is ready to offer a discount of 10,000 dirhams to help with this procedure.
There have been previous attempts to encourage taxi owners to change their vehicles; however, they haven’t known much success.
Changing the grand taxi fleet in the country could tremendously improve the air quality of major Moroccan cities, especially Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city.
