Electric Assisted Vehicles has revealed its EAVGo! Taxi prototype, which is a development of the recently launched \u2018EAV2cubed\u2019 eCargo vehicle. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having developed a separate front cab with multiple rear box and pod solutions for the already successful cargo application, EAV have now been able to create a passenger carrying solution on the established and patented Cloudframe chassis.<\/span><\/p>\n

EAV believes that a lot of resources and energy are being wasted simply moving one or two people a short distance; 65% of all Taxi and PHV journeys are single occupancy and are usually between one and five miles. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur experience in running trials and now supplying EAVs to the logistics industry internationally has shown us that, due to levels of congestion in towns and cities, we can be more efficient than vans and cars,\u201d Said CEO of EAV, Adam Barmby. \u201cThe value of the global e-hailing market for Taxis and PHVs is forecast to hit \u00a3150bn by 2025 which is a lot of journeys meaning a lot of emissions, weight and congestion in cities worldwide.\u00a0 The EAV Taxi will help to significantly reduce those issues while efficiently and comfortably delivering the customer to their desired location.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The EAV Taxi, provisionally named the \u2018EAVGo!\u2019, has been designed to carry up to two passengers in a new rear compartment which has full suspension and lightweight side doors.\u00a0 Inside the EAV Taxi the seats are extremely comfortable fitted with memory foam seat and back cushions.\u00a0 A video screen for journey or location information and cabin heating or cooling to create a comfortable ambient temperature are all part of the EAV Taxi experience.\u00a0 A luggage compartment under the seats is available with access either from the rear or from the side and it can comfortably accept a good size suitcase.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe design offers all the benefits and advantages of a taxi or PHV without being oversized or overweight.\u201d said Nigel Gordon-Stewart, Executive Chairman at EAV.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re 90% lighter than any hybrid or electric car and, if we just replaced one hybrid Uber with an EAV Taxi, we would save about 9.2 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide emissions in one year alone. Our energy usage is a fraction of an electric taxi and we don\u2019t need an infrastructure to charge our batteries, just a normal plug socket.\u00a0 Most importantly, the EAV Taxi would get a passenger to their destination in any town or city just as quickly, safely and comfortably as any other taxi or PHV.\u00a0 With a number of current taxis and PHVs shortly being unable to operate in ULEZ towns and cities without paying high charges, the EAV Taxi is the perfect solution\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

EAV plan to produce the first prototype EAV Taxi in November 2020 with production EAV Taxis deliveries taking place in the Spring 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
