- In a "world first", the VO VOXI Solar Taxi was unveiled at Concours on Savile row. Apparently, this is a "weather-protected, cargo-carrying transportation" vehicle. With open sides, I'm not sure how it is weather protected. You need to watch their own YT video to be able to see where the luggage goes. This could work as a taxi, but the fares would have to be incredibly cheap to make up for the lack of weather (and safety) side protection, and you can't carry friends to split the fare either. I feel that this could be the next Sinclair C5 but I'll let you make up your own minds! Here is the description from the Concours on Savile Row website:
"VO VOXI Solar Taxi
Owner: VO Vehicles
The VO VOXI Solar Taxi is powered by 100 percent renewable energy, and gives zero-emission, convenient, swift, weather-protected, cargo-carrying transportation. It can be ordered by smartphone for single-occupancy passengers; 80% of taxi rides are for one person. What’s more, it’s constructed from carbon negative flax - linen - that will be grown, spun and woven in the UK, giving it a surprising connection to Savile Row.
Boasting an impressive 100-150-mile range, this net-zero-carbon vehicle could theoretically displace all-day-use, fossil-fuel, two-tonne service vehicles, including taxis and city-delivery vehicles. It needs no new charge-point infrastructure because its small, lightweight, removable battery can be recharged via any mains socket. Even better, the taxi is 95 percent manufactured in the UK.
Want more technical spec? The VO VOXI can turn any degree on the spot, while the capped-speed entry model can legally travel in cycle lanes. Clever interior packaging means it can comfortably carry two people, plus a large suitcase and two cabin-size suitcases, while providing more leg and headroom than a car. The result is a spacious, premium feel in the footprint of one cyclist, helping enormously to reduce urban congestion . Later models will be autonomous two- and four-passenger EVs." - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
