The London EV Company Ltd. plans to start selling an electric version of the iconic black cab in Germany, targeting a slice of the nation’s taxi business -- dominated for decades by Daimler AG’s diesel vehicles.
As being green matters more and more to European consumers, LEVC plans to benefit from a partnership with Volvo AB to sell hundreds of its battery-run black cabs in Berlin and other German cities. The car is already ferrying passengers on the streets of Amsterdam and Oslo.
