In 2017, this model will replace the legendary London cabs. The debut of the taxi will soon take place during the meeting of British Prime Minister David Cameron and Chinese President Xi Jinping. These officials will be the first to see the car in person.
The exterior of the Chinese-English car was designed by the Geely design studio in Barcelona. All the work on the technical equipment was assigned to the very London Taxi Company, which is the author of the cabs. This company has been producing them in Britain since 1948. Now, by the way, it belongs to the Chinese.
The production Geely cab will get a hybrid system that includes an electric motor and a 4-cylinder gasoline engine. The car can be recharged from a socket, and at low speeds it will be able to move on electric power alone.
