LEVC premieres Nordic version of TX taxi

LEVC is showcasing its Nordic version of its all-new electric TX six-seater taxi at the region’s largest electric vehicle summit.

This version of the range-extended electric taxi is left-hand drive and comes with a Scandinavian inspired trim.

In addition, it has been wrapped in the Flag of Norway to celebrate the TX’s close ties to Norway.

Chris Gubbey, CEO of LEVC said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for the company, for Northern Europe, for the air we breathe and for commercial vehicle drivers across the region.”

“To date taxi drivers in Norway have lacked a viable electric taxi which has held back electrification of the sector in an otherwise world-leading EV market. By appearing in the Flag of Norway, we also demonstrate our vehicle’s close links to the country – and demonstrate that we are here to support

“Norway’s bold EV transition by providing drivers with the right technology solution to confidently make the switch to cleaner, more efficient taxis today. All of which will help Norway meet its ambitious climate commitments.”

The all-new electric zero-emissions-capable TX showcases its eCity technology for the first time, comprising an advanced battery electric powertrain with a small petrol generator giving drivers complete range assurance and flexibility while being able to operate with zero emissions in urban centres.

The Norwegian vehicles will be fitted with geo-fencing technology, this system will ensure that the vehicle always runs in zero emission mode while in city centres - with the petrol range extender only in operation on intercity journeys – providing a flexible EV solution that meets the requirements of both city regulators and commercial operators.
