Having recently taken delivery of his New Peugeot E7 taxi from Cab Direct, Bradford's Khalid Pervez is a very happy man. Khalid - a cabbie since 1988 - had previously been driving Cab Direct’s original model hackney cab but decided last year that it was time to update.
Top Class
Manufactured jointly by Peugeot and Cab Direct, reliability and performance are hallmarks of the E7’s success in the hard working taxi trade. The secret of that success lies in a vehicle that is genuinely purpose built for the modern day driver – one of Khalid’s main reasons for opting for New E7. Khalid comments: “The E7 is a very well put together vehicle. The build quality is superb.”
Convenience
There’s little doubt that black cabs play a vital part in the UK’s public transport network, particularly amongst wheelchair users who often depend on taxis to get about. Which is why E7 has been built to raise standards in accessibility for disabled passengers. One such feature is Cab Direct’s revolutionary EasyGlide™ ramp – even lighter, even quicker and even easier to use. Khalid comments: “The EasyGlide™ under-floor pull-out ramp is excellent – it’s so convenient and simple to use.”
Besides this, E7 also comes with either manual or cab-operated electric side-steps, together with high-visibility grab handles and floor edging to assist passenger entry and exit. Combine this with E7’s wide doorway and quick attach wheelchair restraints, tested to the highest standards ever achieved in a UK taxi, and it’s clear that New E7 has been designed to provide access for all.
Bags of Space
Another big plus for Khalid is the amount of space. He comments: “The amount of room in the cab is just great, especially for the driver. The luggage capacity is excellent too.” Today’s passengers often come with plenty of baggage and being able to accommodate this is crucial. As such, the E7 taxi has been built with space very much front of mind.
With E7’s celebrated EasySlide™ seat, you have the versatility to adapt your cab to suit every fare, either affording your passengers loads of room in the rear cabin or making way for masses of luggage. And if that’s not enough E7 plus, the long wheelbase model, offers even greater room, whatever the job, ensuring space will never be an issue.
Khalid continues: “All my customers are happy with the E7 hackney cab and I am too. I was well looked after at Cab Direct and would happily recommend both the company and the E7 taxi”
