The Englon TXN - from Geely
A new version of the iconic TX4 London black cab will be revealed at the Beijing motorshow later this month.
The Englon TXN, clumsily rendered into a 'typical' London street scene in these teaser pics, bears at least a passing resemblance to its predecessor. Well, it's black, and it looks a bit old-fashioned.
Inside, there's a big plexi-glass partition to put your driver out of range of knife-wielding assailants on trips sarf of the river, and what looks like space for a wheelchair up front.
Will the TXN be heading to the UK anytime soon? We don't know, but as Geely is currently engaged in a takeover of Manganese Bronze (the company which builds the TX4 and which recently began relocating major elements of production to China), it could be on the cards.
