The Standard Taxi has been engineered to be durable, cost-efficient to operate, and easy to maintain. Groundbreaking features such as interchangeable door panels, fenders and bumpers make this vehicle a unique purpose-built taxicab which even has a powertrain that is calibrated for taxi-duty driving cycles to improve fuel economy and emissions. With a focus on safety, the Standard Taxi is designed with anti-lock brakes, a strong frame and body structure, and energy-absorbing bumpers. The easy-to-maintain interior helps to guarantee that passengers will always have clean seating surfaces and floors. With a focus on accessibility for all, the Standard Taxi provides seating positions for four passengers in the rear compartment, and additional space for a common wheelchair or scooter which is compliant with the vehicle standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). Passengers can easily enter the taxi by either stepping inside the vehicle or by using a standard recessed access ramp. In addition, the extra-large trunk space is big enough to carry four hard-case golf bags and a full-size spare tire. Based in Troy, Michigan, The Vehicle Production Group LLC is an original equipment manufacturer of the Standard Taxi, which has been designed and engineered for dual purpose use in taxicab and paratransit fleets. | |||
