The TX is sold in 20 UK cities so far, including Coventry, Manchester and Edinburgh, but London remains LEVC’s biggest market, with 2000 TXs in operation across the capital. The model is also available in Norway, Germany, Sweden, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Netherlands.
LEVC’s CEO Joerg Hoffmann said: “When this project began in 2014, we set out to make the world’s most advanced taxi, to distil over 70 years of cab-building knowledge into an all-new leader in urban zero emissions mobility.
“The endorsement from drivers is compelling while passengers love TX’s comfort, space and connectivity features.
“We are proud to be supporting the city of London in its efforts to improve air quality – and doing the same across the UK. In the very near future we will be further driving TX sales in Europe and expanding our range with a new LCV. Our goal is to be the leading European green commercial mobility solution provider.”
The recently revealed LCV is a small van that shares a drivetrain and platform with the TX, aimed at urban businesses. With an electric-only range of 80 miles, it is expected that owners will travel in from the suburbs on petrol power, before switching to zero-emissions mode in the city centre.
