point of sale ..... point of sale .. E7™ STILL FAVOURITE IN GUERNSEY
FOR ISLANDERS AND THE TOURIST TRADE
If you’ve ever won- dered about making the switch to a modern style hackney cab, Kevin Marsh would be a good guy to talk to. Guernsey based cab- bie Kevin recently took delivery of his second Peugeot E7™ and could not enthuse more about his new cab. Kevin says: “I changed over from a Ford Galaxy to an E7 some years ago and absolutely loved it. I was so impressed with my E7 that when I decided it was time to upgrade again, there was only one cab I considered. My new E7 arrived last month and I couldn’t be hap- pier with it.” Kevin, who has worked as a cabbie in the
Channel Islands for the last seven years, says: “There is literally noth- ing negative I can say about the E7. It’s the Rolls Royce of taxis. It absolutely knocks spots off the competi- tion. If you ask me – E7 is miles ahead.”
Designed and manu- factured jointly by Peugeot and Cab Direct, the E7™ has
VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER
been built with the modern day driver in mind. A specially craft- ed driver’s seat, offering active, pump- action height and tilt adjustment and extra lumbar support, is your assurance of a com- fortable ride every fare. Passengers will also benefit from a relaxing and enjoyable ride thanks to E7’s excel-
lent road holding and modern suspension. With sandy beaches galore, Guernsey is extremely popular with holidaymakers looking to relax. No stranger to tourists looking for a cab, space is a big pri- ority for Kevin - one that E7™ accommo- dates with ease. Not only does the rear compartment provide plenty of room for a full passenger load, E7’s EasySlide™ rear seat also allows you to cre- ate extra boot space for luggage laden pas- sengers. Kevin explains: “I’m up and down to the airport on a regular basis and, in terms of space, the E7 is fantastic. I can carry seven passen- gers and their luggage with no problems. In all the years I’ve been taxiing on the island, E7 has never failed me
yet.”
Another big plus point for Kevin, is the wheel- chair accessibility in the E7™. He says: “I get a lot of wheelchair work from local nurs- ing and care homes and, more often than not, they specifically request the E7 because it’s so good for access.”
With manual or cab- operated electric side-steps, high-visibil- ity grab handles and a wide entrance sliding rear door, the E7™ comes up trumps when it comes to pas- senger access. E7’s revolutionary EasyGlide™ pull-out ramp and large flat floor also makes load- ing wheelchair passengers a breeze. Kevin continues: “The ramp in the E7™ is great. It couldn’t be simpler to use and it
takes no time at all to get passengers on- board. It’s first rate when it comes to safe- ty too. The restraints are quick and easy to connect and I’m always safe in the knowledge that my passengers are secured safely.” Kevin concludes: “What more can I say, it’s comfortable, fuel efficient and my pas- sengers love it. The introduction of the Fare Assist door system on the latest model is a Brucie bonus too! It’d never go back to driv- ing anything else.”
