like the black run a valid spec, started the london city scape for over a century the best of the old traditions. but mary's with new technology holds a special place in the, in, in, in the hopes of, of many people. peter po has driven a cab in london for 27 years and he loves his job. is quite unique. you because you're in charge of your show for that. so um you, you got the freedom to go out to work, to ship your life. stop driving through london and one of those economists black pads is special. even today we retain the tradition of the black cab. we've always been voted the profession taxi service in the world. the traditions

this we don't want me to. busy the taxi's like, as in like on the ridge 5 boxes and the bosses. despite his love of tradition, peter is happy that he's swapped his diesel cap for an electric one s move it is, and that comfortable it is. it takes all the stress of you dies, this is so smooth. region bright came and makes it loveliest, mover everything with the whole rod experience. you fantastic l a. b c. the company that now builds the electric cabs and menu factory near coventry has shaped the london taxi trade since 19 knowing. using the technical underpinnings of an austin . they develop the boxy party variance of the theme to london. can the ethics for introduce to 19 to c, h was the company's most popular model, n one

o and successors had been based on the spot. the 2008 emission regulations for central london sounded the death knell for the cults. diesel powered taxi. but l a, b, c, we acted fast with a completely new e, the production line supported by chinese car baker, freely project manager lloyd bones and ended steam developed in electric london taxi bringing the venerable british icon in the future. we continue to invest in the taxi product to make it the best time in the world and the world's only purposely design taxi. it's not a vehicle that is converted from a van or from a call or from a mini boss. it's the only vehicle in the world that is designed with a clean sheet of paper to meet the requirements of being a taxi,

the london conditions of fitness of some of the most stringent taxi regulations in the world. and the new electric models, the t x princes, it's d n a back to the fx from 1958. we've kept the look the same, so things like the proportions around the headlights, the grill. keeping that very, very traditional look. and we've kept flat on the new ts around so to lie headlights that quite a upfront, slightly grilled the proportions along the side of the vehicle. the long bullets we have science, swooping roofline at the back of the vehicle. and then inside we've kept the concept of the interior much the same in london, keeping the well being of passengers in mind. this man,

tory loveliness requirements are very strict in terms of the vehicle length the vehicle with but there's also requirements for it to be wheelchair accessible. but i'm done with one of the 1st cities in the world to make wheelchair accessibility a mandatory on tax season in 1990 1000000. so we have to be able to fit a wheelchair that has to be around for the wheelchair. that's a step. these regulations are very, very restrictive, great in for it and it says also attached to comfort this requirement for the minimum distance between the seats. so that this space for people to sit facing each other. and that has to be a sufficient head room, the folk glories that that was put in place because of people with, with top had some bola hats and to be able to gets in and of the cars that transports passengers. and the british capital also has to be right up there in

terms of technology levels, requirements of very strict turning circles. so how far we can, we can turn around in the road, how quickly we can do that. the turning circle is 8.8 meters turning circle, and that's because of the turning points at the savoy hotel. as a boy hotel, it has a very, very tight entry, the dining. so as of what we've come in on the right hand side as opposed to the left is we don't need drove any kylie's person to, i'm on the wrong sort of the problem is uh yeah, this is all i deal with the tax season. i feel for this because of the $24.00 foot tony circle and then it comes here and here we probably wanna let you out. the latest regulation that affects the taxi trade in london. only cars with the

emission free power trains can now be registered for passenger transport, which has had a huge influence on the black cops to where we see the biggest changes underneath the bonnet. and if we look on the old vehicle, we see that a full cylinder, diesel engine a very much, much of its time in the, in the late eighty's, but quite noisy, quite rationally. not a very good customer experience compared to what we have now. in new t x, where under the bonus is everything to generate electricity, a small fuel based wayne to extend or can charge the battery if necessary. the 110 kilowatt electric motor is built directly into the rear axle. in order to keep the total vehicle center of gravity as low as possible, the batteries are tucked away in the floor panels and the entire body is made of

aluminum. the individual components are not riveted or welded, but rather glued together in a complex process. it's a funded living in chassis, which originally comes from the across the industry. so planes like be about a $320.00 a built this way. on top of that, we put compass it panels and to get the, the, the expertise in that type of a for the design. and we ended up with engine is who with experience informed me to one another. most of the boats to come in and help design an engineer. the products and the engineers also manage to build a huge glass roof into the aluminum body. this allows passengers to get to know the city even better. a london cabbie, austin doubles as a tour, guide the the amory out in front of you. where

the admiralty used to play fast, like solve the buildings and the left side of it. so excuse hotel, loved the golf. absolutely love it. you go to what play just say for the top i so i can pictures on its on sometimes here so that i can learn. i'm and i'm a little low to lift it up. oh, got random died. there are currently 6500 ts models from l e d. c on the road in london and almost half of all london cabs are now electric. the battery capacity is enough for a 130 kilometers or the equivalent of 8 hours of stop and go traffic loading the battery to 80 percent out of fast charger takes half an hour. but being forced to take those breaks doesn't bother peter powell a little when clean the cab,
