Choose between CNG & Diesel cabs: Ola to Delhi users

Taxi hailing app Ola Thursday said it has introduced a technology that will help to distinguish CNG and diesel vehicles on the app enabling users to choose only CNG vehicles within Delhi.

New Delhi: Taxi hailing app Ola Thursday said it has introduced a technology that will help to distinguish CNG and diesel vehicles on the app enabling users to choose only CNG vehicles within Delhi.

Delhi High Court today told Ola to show it has complied with its order upholding the city government's ban on app-based cabs that run on diesel after the company said its diesel taxis will no longer be providing services within the city.

"In order to assist driver-partners to conform with the local regulations, we have introduced a first of its kind technology that will help distinguish CNG and diesel vehicles on the app, allowing us to be aware as well as keep track of such compliance and will enable users to choose only CNG vehicles for usage within Delhi," Ola said in a statement.

The company said it has made available multiple opportunities for driver entrepreneurs to adopt CNG, through various partnerships with car manufacturers, financiers and CNG distributors like IOCL that have further catalysed drivers to comply.

"We respect the orders of the Honourable High Court and will continue to be committed to building mobility for a billion people," the company added.
