Geely TX5 PHEV
The London Taxi is one of the most
iconic just as New York's Yellow Cab, therefore various companies aim to buiild
its replacement (ie Metrocab) with a more updated style and tech.
Two years ago, one of the manufacturers
that produces the famous Black Cab (London Taxi Company) was bought by the
Chinese Geely, which has invested heavily (€ 345 million - £ 250M) to develop
the future London taxi and a local
production line.
This acquisition was followed by the
launch of the project TX5 in the design studios of Geely in Barcelona. Here are
the first images of that PHEV TX5 which is much more high-tech than its
predecessor beginning with an aluminium body and composite panels, it can
accommodate up to six people with wi-fi of course.
About the specs, this TX5 is equipped
with a gasoline four cylinder and offers an electric autonomy of 50 km.
