What is the LEVC London Taxi?
“London Taxi” describes a purpose-built hackney carriage for licensed cab work. Its upright body and passenger cabin reflect the practical demands of carrying fares around town. It belongs to the British tradition of purpose-built London cabs associated with Carbodies and London Taxis International.
The name describes the vehicle’s role rather than a specific generation. The TXI and TXII are named generations in the wider London taxi line; the US listing uses “London Taxi” without identifying a generation.
