LEVC's TX extended-range EV now makes up more than 40 percent of all black cabs in London. 6,000 of their vehicles are now operating in the city.

Last week saw the first electric-powered black cabs hit the streets of London to go on a preliminary trial period in the city. Having been in development for the best part of the last ten years, the seven-seater taxis have a zero-emissions mode and run on two almost-silent electric motors.
