L380 seeks to build on LEVC’s black cab success
LEVC, the Chinese firm behind London’s plugin hybrid black cabs, has unveiled a new fully electric ‘luxury MPV’ (multi-purpose vehicle) that should hit UK streets within two years.
The L380 is the first vehicle to be built using the Space Oriented Architecture (SOA), a new EV platform developed by LEVC alongside parent company Geely. Deriving both its name and styling cues from the Airbus A380 aircraft, the L380 will come in three, six or eight-seat configurations. The initial Chinese launch will be supported by LEVC’s assembly line in Yiwu, Central Zhejiang Province. LEVC said further details on the vehicle will be released in the coming months.
“L380 is the first demonstration of the future vision for LEVC, launching the business into an entirely new sector,” said Alex Nan, CEO of LEVC. “Today marks another momentous occasion for LEVC, as the next step forward in the company’s globalisation strategy, as we rapidly accelerate our transition from manufacturing the world’s most advanced and iconic taxi, to becoming a leading e-mobility technology company.
