The company sold more than 2,500 TX taxis in 2019 and is forecasting a 50 percent increase in demand for its products in 2020. It is on schedule to more than double its market presence, in line with its export strategy, with plans to be operating in 20 countries by the end of the year. Over 100 new jobs will be created at its headquarters in Ansty, near Coventry.
“LEVC is at the forefront of reinventing mobility, by transforming from an iconic British taxi brand to a leading electric vehicle manufacturer” said Joerg Hofmann, CEO of LEVC. “We are at a pivotal time in LEVC’s history. Our strategic direction is on track as we deliver consistent, planned growth and I’m delighted to be able to create new job opportunities this year to support the continuing success of our business.”
Both the TX models and new electric van use LEVC’s proven e-City range extender technology, with 80 miles (130 km) of emissions free driving and an extended electrically driven total range of over 370 miles (600 km). The new van will offer a ‘distribution to door’ – not just last mile – service, providing the critical link between out of town depots and city centres with no range anxiety, while the TX Shuttle serves the growing need for on-demand public transport and taxi services.
