LTI Vehicles launches new TX4 black cab range
18th October 2006
Today, 18 October 2006, LTI Vehicles is launching its new TX4 range of London-style taxis, equipped with Euro IV compliant VM Motori 2.5-litre turbodiesel engines and replacing the TXII range introduced in 2002.
Peter Shillcock, Managing Director of LTI Vehicles said today, "We have invested three years of development and over £5 million in bringing the TX4 to market. The TX4 has undergone more component and road testing than anything we have ever built. Over one million kilometres of testing, equivalent to 30 times around the world, has taken place. This includes 5,000 kilometres of chassis and suspension durability testing over cobbled road surfaces. The TX4 has been tested in real-life extreme hot and cold climates and simulated conditions using the wind tunnel at MIRA."
He added, "We believe without question the TX4 is quite simply the best purpose built taxi ever made and it will set the standard for years to come. The TX4 is without doubt a milestone not only for LTI Vehicles but the whole taxi industry."
The TX4 features new transmissions, anti-lock braking, a more comfortable ride than its predecessor, improved interior specification, equipment and facilities for the able and disabled, and the 25 feet turning circle required by the Public Carriage Office.
The TX4 is available with four levels of specification with prices starting at £26,995 on the road – a £2,000 price increase over the outgoing model.
