President Ilham Aliyev viewed new LEVC TX London taxis delivered to Baku

Meeting modern standards, 100 new six-seat LEVC TX model of London taxis of the Baku Taxi Service LLC under Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies are ready for service.

On August 12, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev viewed the new taxis.

Minister of Transport, Communications and High Technologies Ramin Guluzade informed President Ilham Aliyev about the features of the new taxis.

The Minister noted that both the driver and passengers of the new taxis were provided with complete safety and comfort. The new LEVC TX taxis have a number of advantages. In particular, this model of taxis run on electricity, not fuel. The cars can be charged both at home and at specially installed stations. The smart configuration car runs up to 130 kilometers on pure electricity and then it is possible to change the mode. This means zero damage to the environment.

Taxis, where smart technologies are widely used, are safe for both drivers and passengers. So, the car itself warns the driver about speed limits on the road. If the driver loses control or changes the trajectory, special sensors transmit relevant information to the driver.

The passenger cabin of the new taxis is wider than in other London taxis and has six seats. The cars are equipped with USB ports, Wi-Fi and GPS. There is a glass partition between the driver and passengers in order to minimize contact. This is very convenient in terms of isolation and social distancing during the pandemic. The cabin has a special microphone for communication with the driver, a control panel in Braille for visually impaired passengers, and an instruction board for the hearing impaired. The car is equipped with a ramp for the disabled. It will be possible to make payment in these taxis via a POS-terminal.

President Ilham Aliyev was informed that 1,200 taxis of the Baku Taxi Service LLC currently serve the residents in the capital city. London TX4 models are for 5 people.

The cars equipped with the Android system, also provide a wide range of options to drivers. Drivers have the ability to control the entire process using a monitor.

The delivery of new taxis to Baku will further improve the level of service in the capital in this type of passenger transportation.
