Full Hackney Specification
The new Ford MAXiCab is a full specification Hackney Cab available in three fuel types, diesel, petrol PHEV and fully electric (BEV).
What sets the MAXiCab apart is the panoramic glass roof which gives class-leading head height for wheelchair passengers and a real sense of space in the back. You can also opt to have a luggage pen or occasional seat in place of the front passenger seat.
Each new Ford Hackney MAXiCab is delivered with:
Calibrated taximeter
Full impact-resistant partition screen with pay area
Two-way intercom with automatic radio intercept
Automatic motion locking on passenger doors (above 3mph)
Wheelchair ramp
Electric side-steps
Front high visibility taxi sign and vehicle decals
Which engine is right for you?
Depending on your driving style and distances you travel the diesel and PHEV engines offer great MPG and could cut your current fuel bills, meaning your new MAXiCab could result in cheaper running costs over the year.We recommend the PHEV if you tend to spend most of your time on short city journeys, where the diesel really comes into its own over longer distances.
With the introduction of more LEZ and ULEZ across the UK, the benefits of PHEV are increasingly catching the eye and pockets of taxi drivers.
Benefits of PHEV
Zero Emissions Driving
PHEVs are capable of between 28-41 miles of zero-emissions driving while the 2.5litre petrol engine is there as back up for longer journeys. The clever use of kinetic energy from accelerating and braking means your electric battery is never empty, even when you don’t have time to charge fully!
Quick & Easy Charging
PHEVs are quick and easy to charge at home or with a public charger, times and costs will vary depending on type or charger and electric tariff but as a guideline you can expect to charge to 80% – 100% in approx. 3 hours 30 minutes from a wall box and 6 hours from a domestic socket.
Cheaper Fuel Bills
Drivers will be able to achieve fully electric driving, resulting in lower fuel bills and fewer visits to the petrol station. All-electric driving capability is perfect for taxi drivers on those quick trips around town, school runs or other short journeys.
