The London Taxi Company has relaunched as LEVC, marking the next stage in the company's transformation. Underpinned by an investment totalling $578 million, LEVC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geely, has the single-minded ambition to be the urban commercial vehicle provider of choice for cities around the world.
Alongside the unveiling of the new name and brand logo, LEVC also revealed the final version of the new London Taxi - the TX - and its eCity technology comprising an advanced battery electric powertrain with a small petrol generator. Applied to the all new electric TX, the technology allows for a range of over 644km, including a 113km zero-emissions range.
Due to launch in London later this year, LEVC is finalising its quality and testing regime for the TX, which has been taken to the extreme heat of the Arizona desert and freezing temperatures in the Arctic Circle. LEVC expects strong demand from its launch market in London once the order book opens on the 1st August 2017.
