Eco City Vehicles launches first all-electric prototype of Mercedes Vito taxi

8th Feb 2010, 12:49 pm Eco City Vehicles launches first all-electric prototype of Mercedes Vito taxi

Eco City Vehicles (AIM: ECV) has launched an electric prototype of the London-licensed Mercedes Vito taxi, which is exclusively distributed and was developed by the group with manufacturing partner Penso, Mercedes Benz UK and Zytec Automotive.

The vehicle is called the Mercedes Electric eVito Tax (eVito). The group’s associate company One80 provides its patented rear-wheel steering technology for the eVito and the Vito taxi to enable the vehicle to meet the public carriage office requirement for a minimum turning circle of 25 feet.

Later this year, the consortium plans to conduct controlled trials to confirm eVito's  suitability for road usage as a London licensed taxi.

The electric taxi is powered by Zytek's 70 kiloWatt electric powertrain and expected to exceed a total range of 120 miles in a typical mixed drive cycle on a single charge.

The new taxi does not produce emissions, which will keep it in compliance with London’s proposed new clean air standards for taxis.

“Subject to successful trials, the eVito together with the already popular Vito taxi, provides London with a great opportunity to reduce air pollution with modern vehicles.  We have taken on board Mayor Boris Johnson's wish for a cleaner London and I'm confident this will contribute to meeting his goal,” said chief executive of Eco City Vehicles Peter DaCosta.
