Access For All

Taxis provide a vital component of the UK's public transport network. Disabled people in particular often depend on taxis to get about, which is why New E7™ raises standards in accessibility for disabled passengers. Options include induction loops for the hard of hearing, while all E7s are fully wheelchair accessible.

Easy Does It

Manual or cab-operated electric side-steps, together with high-visibility grab handles and floor edging assist passenger entry and exit, while both rear and tip-up seats are ergonomically designed for ease of use. New E7's wider doorway is a bonus for wheelchair users in particular. You also have a choice of wheelchair ramps, depending on model, including the revolutionary EasyGlide™ pull-out ramp - even lighter, even quicker and even easier to use.

Wheelchair Security

Once inside the vehicle, the larger flat-floor area and improved headroom make manoeuvring the wheelchair into the correct travelling position so much easier than in other hackney cabs. Quick-attach restraints make securing the wheelchair as easy as possible and the wheelchair passenger is also secured by a full lap-and-diagonal seatbelt. Both wheelchair and occupant restraints have been tested to the highest standards ever achieved in a UK taxi. For the first time many wheelchair users can also now have the option to choose a forward-facing position.
