Volkswagen electric Milano Taxi concept

Volkswagen electric Milano Taxi concept

Volkswagen has announced that it will launch its first production electric vehicles in 2013.

Electric cars that are driven emissions-free will revolutionise mobility over the mid-term, especially in urban areas.

However, Volkswagen is not just thinking of individual mobility here, but is also considering its possibilities as a vehicle in public transportation.

That is why Volkswagen is now showing – in a world premiere at the Hanover Trade Show – just how a large-scale production taxi driven by an electric motor might look.

The “Milano Taxi” concept car that has been created is a city MPV tailored to the needs of taxi drivers and their passengers in its many innovative details such as a swivel-sliding door that opens in a forward direction and customisable taxi touchscreens.
