TAXI drivers in the west of Scotland can now make the switch to electric power more easily, after the opening of Glasgow’s first official dealer this week.
The TX electric taxi is now available at LEVC Glasgow, sited at the Taggart’s Volvo showroom in Hillington Park.
And to celebrate the new dealership, LEVC Glasgow will pay the £2500 deposit on a new TX in an exclusive offer for taxi drivers available until April 30.

To support the roll-out of electric taxis in the region, the Energy Saving Trust, funded by Transport Scotland, will provide interest-free loans of up to £120,000 to replace traditional hackney cabs, regardless of age.
LEVC already have one Scottish dealership in Edinburgh and expansion into Glasgow comes at a time when Scotland is investing heavily in improving air quality and an electric vehicle strategy.
LEVC Glasgow boss Derek Muir said: “We are delighted to announce the opening of our new business. Our dedicated team are on hand to provide information on the amazing technology behind the TX and look forward to welcoming taxi drivers.”
