The iconic black cab returns in its latest and more
modern interpretation in the form of the new TX eCity taxi. Following its
public debut last summer, the new electrified TX Cab is now fully certified to
carry fare-paying passengers in London.
London EV Company has put the new TX Cab through the
most rigorous testing regime in the company’s history, including testing
sessions in the Arctic Circle and Arizona, along with thousands of miles at the
hands of real taxi drivers on the streets of London.
Powering the new TX is an advanced electrified
powertrain that combines a Volvo-sourced 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol engine
and two rear-mounted electric motors for a total driving range of up to 400
miles and a purely electric range of 80 miles. The new London black cab can fit
up to six passengers which will notice the dramatically improved NVH levels and
features like USB ports and Wi-Fi.
Prices for the new electrified TX taxi starts from £
55,599 OTR or £ 177 per week over five years. The vehicle’s battery is covered
by a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty as well.
