Since 2017, LEVC has been manufacturing the TX at Ansty, and it has now become the most common black cab on London's streets, with over 6,000 units representing more than 40% of all black cabs in the city. The growing demand for sustainable mobility solutions has been reflected in the company's best annual sales performance to date, with 2,508 TX vehicles sold in 2022. The TX model has also been sold in multiple global markets, including Paris, Madrid, Cairo, and Tokyo.
LEVC's milestone coincides with the 200th anniversary of the first Hackney carriage license in London and 75 years since the introduction of the first black cab, the FX3. With its new strategy in place, the company aims to build on its heritage and expand beyond high-end taxi manufacturing to deliver zero-emission capable vehicles to a broader customer base. This demonstrates LEVC's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions and its goal of becoming a leading zero-carbon mobility technology company.
"Looking ahead, LEVC has outlined a new strategy that will see the business transform into a leading zero carbon mobility technology company. We will build on LEVC’s unrivalled heritage and grow beyond high-end taxi manufacturing, delivering on our mission to offer smart, green, safe and accessible mobility to more customers than ever before.” Alex Nan, CEO of LEVC said.
LEVC TX is an electric taxi with a hybrid plug-in range extender. This vehicle is designed to comply with Transport for London’s Taxi Private Hire regulations, which banned new diesel-powered taxis from January 2018 and require zero-emissions capability. The electric taxi LEVC TX has a flexible total range of 318 miles (512 km) and a pure electric range of 64 miles (103 km).
