Glasgow hails electric taxi
What is claimed to be the world’s most advanced electric taxi is now available to buy from Glasgow’s first franchised LEVC dealer.
The LECV TX electric taxi will be available from LEVC Glasgow, located at Taggart’s Volvo showroom in Hillington Park.
Derek Muir, head of business of LEVC Glasgow said, ‘We are delighted to announce the opening of our new LEVC Glasgow business operating from our Volvo showroom in Hillington. Our dedicated team are on hand to provide information on the amazing technology behind the TX and look forward to welcoming taxi drivers at our open days on 16 and 17t April where display vehicles and demonstrators will be available to test drive.’
The official arrival of the LEVC TX in Glasgow comes at a time when Scotland is heavily investing in improving air quality and encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles. Glasgow City Council has already begun to implement its electric vehicle strategy with £625,000 awarded by Transport Scotland to develop an existing charge point network – consisting of over 100 charge point locations.
Meanwhile, Edinburgh has just announced plans to install a further 66 charge points across the city.
