  • Mayor of London #sadiqkhan and Mayor of the West Midlands #andystreet visit London Electric Vehicle Company's (LEVC) state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Coventry
  • LEVC's TX has played a key role in increasing the number of EVs on London's streets, helping to improve air quality
  • Since sales began in 2018, over 4,300 #levc TX Taxi models are now in the hands of London's cab drivers
  • LEVC's new zero emission capable VN5 light van set to further support the capital's goal of achieving a zero carbon London by 2030   

Ansty, 15th October 2021 – London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) has today hosted #sadiqkhan and #andystreet at its Coventry factory as The Mayor of London outlined plans to increase the number of #ev charge points in London as part of his 2030 Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Strategy. 

With more than 4,300 examples of its purpose-built TX electric taxi sold in the capital since 2018, #levc has played a major role in growing the number of EVs on London's streets – and is already building on this progress with its new VN5, the company's clean, #green, flexible and cost-effective electric light van. These zero emission capable EVs are helping to improve air quality, directly supporting City Hall's goals of decarbonising the transport network and achieving a zero carbon London by 2030. 

The original London taxi, totally redesigned for the 21st Century as the TX Taxi, is purpose-built with ample space for six passengers, wheelchair access and clever eCity technology, which combines 63 miles of zero-emissions pure electric range with the flexibility of a total electrically driven range of 316 miles – made possible thanks to the on-board range-extender.  

In 2019, #levc launched the VN5 – its new electric van – which shares the same lightweight aluminum construction as the TX, as well as its eCity technology. Also designed from the ground up to offer a highly capable, flexible and economical electric transportation platform, the VN5 has a pure #ev range of over 60 miles, and total range-extended capacity of 304 miles, giving it the flexibility to accommodate any kind of journey. 

Both vehicles are built at LEVC's state-of-the-art factory in Ansty, Coventry where more than £500m has been invested by parent company GEELY since 2014. 

Joerg Hofmann, #levc CEO, said"I am pleased to host the Mayor of London, #sadiqkhan, here at #levc in Coventry today as the capital continues its journey to becoming net zero by 2030. I am also pleased to host #andystreet, Mayor of the West Midlands. With our range of revolutionary electrically driven vehicles - the TX black taxi and VN5 light commercial vehicle - #levc is providing the optimum solution for drivers and businesses looking to transition to #green mobility while charging infrastructure improves in London and across the UK. Increasing the number of charge-points in the run up to 2030 will be crucial in ensuring businesses can operate emissions free. I look forward to working with the Mayor in supporting London's journey to becoming a zero carbon city."
