LONDON ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPANY’S TX ELECTRIC TAXIS OVERTAKE DIESEL MODELS IN LONDON
There are now more LEVC TX electric taxis on London’s streets than diesel LEVC TX4s, new figures show. The electric TX is now the most common black cab in operation, representing over 40% of all black cabs in London. Alex Nan, CEO of LEVC, said: “We are witnessing a significant tipping point in the push towards cleaner transportation, with the TX overtaking the diesel-powered TX4 as the cab of choice in London. “There are now more than 6,000 TX electric taxis operating in the capital. Since LEVC launched the revolutionary TX taxi, it has successfully delivered an unrivalled mobility solution, perfectly suited for urban environments.” TfL’s Helen Chapman said: “It’s
great to see that almost half of the taxi fleet is now zero emissions capable and there are now more LEVC TX taxis than any model of diesel black cabs in the capital. “Alongside reductions to emissions these modern vehicles deliver a really comfortable experience for both driver and passenger. LEVC is also celebrating producing its 10,000th vehicle. The company’s first TX electric taxi rolled off the production line at its state-of-the-
art Ansty factory in 2018 and was delivered in London. Since then, 10,000 of them have been built and sold across the world. This achievement also continues the momentum of a record-breaking year for LEVC, with 2,508 TX vehicles sold in 2022, making it the manufacturer’s best annual sales performer to date. Alex Nan said: “This year will see LEVC hit many milestones. As well as producing our 10,000th vehicle, we will celebrate ten years of being part of the Geely Holding Group family. The past decade has seen significant change for the business, including a new manufacturing facility, a complete rebrand and the launch of both the TX electric taxi and the VN5 van.’
