CaoCao Mobility, LEVC roll out health version of new TX

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Geely-backed CaoCao Mobility and London EV Company (LEVC), another subsidiary of the Chinese automaker will launch a "health version" of the new TX, the ico nic black taxi in London.

According to the mobility company, the special version comes with double fully enclosed but isolated compartments to make drivers and passengers separate completely. They can use in-car walkie-talkie, hearing aids and other functions for communication. Furthermore, the passenger cockpit features air cleaning technology, spray disinfection technology and real-time monitoring of PM2.5.

Besides, the variant is made from healthy and environment-friendly materials, especially antibacterial materials for such frequently contacted areas as the handle, handrail, and button. The all-new TX is expected to be officially offered in the Chinese market this year, and the concept of healthy cars will gradually be applied to other mass-produced models.

Geely Holding has invested more than 500 million pounds (RMB 4.5 billion) in LEVC, with which the fire-new TX electric taxi has been developed and produced. At present, this model comes into service in the UK, France, Germany and other countries.

The new model, aimed at taxi and ride-hailing users, is the same one that CaoCao operated in trial in Paris and Kaesong in January of 2020. Recently, anti-bacteria has also become a major concern of shared mobility in addition to security and privacy (photo source: Geely).
