Premium shuttle manufacturer, London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) is preparing to launch its electric model TX through a partnership with Exclusive Motors, a premium dealership, for the Indian subcontinent.
Not only will LEVC create significant employment opportunities in India, the e-city vehicle will also support a green future for India with its innovative range extender, said the company.
LEVC’s history began in 1908, when the first dedicated black cab was specially designed and commissioned for use in London. Its latest model, the electric TX, was introduced in 2018.
Powered by LEVC’s eCity technology, the TX claims to be capable of zero emissions and has a flexible range of over 510 km. It features a spacious passenger environment with six passenger seats, wheelchair accessibility and a purpose-built partition separating the driver from occupants. Its 8.45 metre turning circle makes the TX a perfect vehicle for city mobility and suburban flexibility, claims LEVC. The TX comes with an onboard charging system and a range extender.
Alan Gemmell, Her Majesty's Trade Commissioner for South Asia said he is pleased that LEVC’s innovative future mobility solutions is embracing the opportunities in India’s dynamic and growing electric vehicle market. “The UK and India have ambitious plans to deepen our trade and investment partnership and bring benefits to both economies, and this is a great example of what we can do together,” he said.
Expressing his pleasure to have partnered with LEVC, Satya Bagla, Managing Director, Exclusive Motors said, “India is an emerging market for the electric vehicles, and there could not be a better time for LEVC to make its foray into the country. The technology, aesthetics and practicality of the vehicle is certain to win over the Indian customers in the days to come.”
