Eco City Vehicles PLC (“Eco City” or “ECV” or “the Group”), a developer and supplier of eco-friendly commercial vehicles and the London licensed taxi, launched an all electric prototype of the London-licensed Mercedes Vito taxi (Vito), which was co-developed and is distributed exclusively by the Group.

The Mercedes Electric eVito Taxi (eVito), the zero-emissions, lithium-ion battery vehicle is powered by Zytek’s 70kW electric powertrain and expected to exceed a total range of over one hundred and ninety kilometres in a typical mixed drive cycle on a single charge. The vehicle’s performance is predicted to be similar to the internal combustion engine taxi, making it an ideal choice for inner city transportation and London cabbies. With zero emissions, it is also expected to be fully compliant with the Mayor of London’s proposed new clean air standards for London taxis, due to be introduced in time for the London Olympics.
