The London EV Company (LEVC) has increased its regional presence across the UK by opening three new dealerships.
The new retailers in Nottingham, Slough and Southampton will offer sales and aftersales support. LEVC’s existing retail network is spread across 12 UK cities.
The new dealers will help underpin local authorities’ efforts to improve urban air quality by introducing zero emissions-capable taxis across the UK.
Jöerg Hofmann, LEVC CEO, said: “We are delighted to welcome new partners in Nottingham, Southampton and Slough into the LEVC family, expanding our retail network as we implement our growth strategy.
“These new dealerships will help us engage with our customers in a greater number of regions in the UK, bringing us closer than ever to the people who drive our taxis every day.”
In September Endeavour Automotive opened its second LEVC taxi franchise.
The company is one of three UK franchises for LEVC.
According to Endeavour drivers of diesel taxis could save over £100 per week in fuel by switching to the new generation hybrid-electric taxi. All four wheels are electrically powered but a small petrol engine acts as a range extending generator.
LEVC’s plans to grow its range further in 2020 with the launch of a new electric van, based on the TX Taxi and sharing the same eCity technology.
