point of sale ..... point of sale .. THE FIRST PEUGEOT PREMIER™ IN DUNDEE
Hackney taxi driver Eddie Hampton was the first proud owner of Cab Direct’s latest wheelchair accessible taxi, the all new Peu- geot Premier™, in Dundee. Since taking delivery of his new taxi in June this year, Eddie has been inun- dated with drivers asking him questions about the performance of his new cab. Happi- ly, Eddie is full of praise. So much so, in fact, that many other drivers have since fol- lowed suit and the Premier™ is now a common site on the Scottish city’s ranks. Eddie comments: “Being the first one in Dundee I had loads of drivers asking for feedback on the cab. I think they saw me as
and easy wheelchair access without com- promising on passenger luggage capacity.
Unlike with
many other taxis on the road, the Premier provides plenty of boot space as well as convenient rear wheel- chair access.
the guinea pig. I have nothing bad to say about the Premier and would happily recom- mend it to anyone in the trade – especially in terms of value for money.”
As the latest addition to Cab Direct’s wheel- chair accessible taxi range you could be forgiven for thinking that the Premier™,
complete with its unique new wheel- chair accessible ramp, might cost an arm and a leg. You’d be wrong! Eddie says: “I previ- ously had the first Peugeot Eurobus in Dundee from Cab Direct but when I decided to change, the Premier™ really stood out in terms of cost. It looks great

too. It’s a fantastic vehicle for the money.” Besides its low initial outlay, from only £12,995 + VAT,
the
Premier™ also comes up trumps when it comes to fuel con- sumption. Powered by Peugeot’s econom- ical HDi 90 diesel engine, the Premier™ boast excellent fuel efficiency making it one of the most cost effective taxis on the market today.
One of the big plus points for drivers look- ing for versatility is the Premier’s new light- weight FlatFold™ rear access ramp which has been specially adapted to offer quick
The vehicle also fea- tures a lowered floor providing an easy ramp gradient to assist wheelchair entry and exit. Eddie says: “The ramp is absolutely first class. It couldn’t be any easi- er to use. Plus, my customers love it because the lowered floor means they’re sit- ting lower down too. I’ve had lots of great comments about it. Another benefit to the Peugeot Premier™ is the great features that come as standard. The height adjustable arm- rest, MP3 compatible CD player with remote controls, electric front windows and innova- tive storage solutions combine to make a great working environ- ment for every cabbie.
Something which Eddie is only too pleased about as he has been spending more time behind the wheel recently in a bid to help a close neigh- bour and her family. Eddie explains: “Sadly my neighbour, of only 44 years old, has been diagnosed with termi- nal illness. We are having a fund raiser in her honour and lots of local businesses have been very generous in donating gifts. As res- ident taxi driver, I have been only too happy to offer my services and have been delighted to pick up donations across town.
despite the sad cir- cumstances, it will prove to be a great night with lots raised for the family.”
