New E7 Hits Streets of Hartlepool

05/02/2010

Raymond Tweddle - owner of Streamline Taxis, in Hartlepool - has recently taken delivery of his new Peugeot E7 cab.

Raymond’s 130-strong taxi fleet consists mainly of Skoda Octavia’s.  However, having recently secured a contract requiring a wheelchair accessible cab, Raymond decided new E7 would be the perfect addition to his fleet.  

Raymond explains: “A couple of the owner drivers have the original model E7 so I knew it was a reliable vehicle.  Then when I test-drove the new one I went for it straight away – I was really impressed.” 

Access for All

With the revolutionary EasyGlide™ pull-out ramp, the E7 taxi makes wheelchair access quick and easy.  The extra-wide sliding doors, plus manual or cab-operated side-steps and high-visibility grab handles and floor edging are also a bonus when it comes to accessibility, assisting passenger entry and exit.

Raymond comments: “The E7 is absolutely ideal when it comes to wheelchair access.  The ramp is so convenient and easy to use – I can’t fault it.”

Comfort Cab

Another big plus point for Raymond is the comfort levels in the new E7.  He says: “The driver’s seat in the E7 is superb.  It means you’re less tired at the end of a hard shift.  I like the space in the vehicle too – at 6ft 3” I’m a big guy but it’s easy to get in and out of the E7.”

Manufactured jointly by Peugeot and Cab Direct, the E7 taxi has been designed with the modern day driver in mind, offering new dimensions in passenger benefits.  Features such as the dash mounted intercom, centre console with storage bin and overhead storage compartments make E7 the ideal taxi partner.   Add air conditioning, one-touch electric windows and CD player with steering column mounted controls and you have every convenience to see you through a long shift.

Just as important, E7’s top specification driver’s seat is the envy of other drivers - just another reason why a taxi shift in the E7 seems so much easier than working in other cabs. 

Bags of Space

Driver and passenger comfort is further enhanced thanks to the amount of space the E7 taxi affords you.  No matter how luggage-laden your passengers may be, cater for every fare with E7s EasySlide™ rear seat which allows you to create a cavernous boot area for loading cases out of harms way.  You can also choose an additional luggage pen up front beside the driver.  Or why not opt for the plus model, providing a longer wheelbase for even greater luggage capacity! 

Raymond says: “The E7 is unbelievable when it comes to space.  There’s literally bags of room.  I opted for the plus model and the space in the cab is just phenomenal.”

Raymond continues in his praise: “I am over the moon with my new E7.  In my opinion it’s streets ahead of other hackneys on the market.”
