New LEVC taxi dealership opens in West London

LEVC's TX electric taxis are being sold for the first time at a dealership in West London.

Endeavour Automotive already operate the Volvo Cars dealership in Chiswick, and the new LEVC dealership will be on a neighbouring site.

Endeavour Automotive decided to become a franchise holder after seeing the popularity of the new taxi with passengers and drivers, as well as the level of support from both national and city government for the electric taxi project. The team have invested to increase the capacity of their workshop to support the arrival of a new brand.

The firm is also building a number of taxi dedicated fast charge points to give cabbies greater access to charging in West London.

Adrian Wallington, Managing Director Endeavour Automotive said: “The extension of the Ultra-Low Emission Zone and arrival of electric taxis are measures that will significantly improve air quality in West London, and alongside a significant increase in demand for more environmentally friendly passenger vehicles in the capital, we’re delighted to be part of this taxi revolution, especially as the new TX can offer savings of up to £100 per week in fuel for the average London taxi driver.

Chris Gubbey, CEO of LEVC said: “Our purpose-built, passenger focused taxi, has been designedwith the intention of getting more people in the back of cabs – offering the safest, cleanest, quietest and smoothest taxi ride yet. We are delighted to have had the support of the team at Endeavour to deliver this vision for the taxi trade in London.”
