On October 11, fifty TX4 cabs under Geely Englon brand were delivered to Johnson & Johnson and went into services in Shanghai, adding a British style to the old Shanghai.  

Those who have been to London may be impressed by the black classic taxi shuttling through the streets. Known as Black Cab, it is regarded as one of the cultural symbols in London and enjoys a reputation on a par with the well-known brands including Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley and Morgan. The introduction of the TX4 cabs will add another British style scenery to the city.  

The first TX4 cabs are evolved from the classical black cabs in London streets. Compared with other taxi models, quite a few advantages of the cabs have been found by the test drivers.   

One of its highlight is huge space. The car has two rows of seats in the cage including three fixed seats in the back row and a folding seat in the front row, in which there is comfortable seating for four people in two opposed rows. In addition, a special place is left for the luggage and the space is large enough to accommodate the luggage of the largest size.

Another highlight of the model lies in its outstanding performance in ensuring the privacy of the passengers. A sound proof panel was adopted between the driving cab and the cage, which prevents from "the walls having ears" and effectively ensures the privacy of the passengers. While in order to ensure the communication between the driver and the passengers, an intercom device is also adopted.

Its user-friendly design also wins quite a few reputations for the Englon TX4. The custom-oriented cab takes the demands of the special groups including the old people, babies and disabled into consideration. Its acres of space can accommodate the wheelchair and the pram and a wheelchair ramp is also adopted for the convenience of the special groups. Its user-friendly design also makes the cab unique among the taxies in the present market.

Despite of its large size, its 3.8-meter turning radius constitutes another advantage of the cab, which can help the cab effectively cope with the traffic jam. The first batch of the cabs will accept both reservation and hailing after its launch. In the future, more user-friendly and better cabs will land on the Shanghai market.
