We want to make it easier for Londoners to switch from diesel to electric taxis as a key part of reducing toxic emissions. The Mayor’s ambition of London becoming a zero-emission city is fast becoming a reality. We are an all-electric and accessible taxi fleet that offers a green transport solution to businesses and customers in London.
Speaking at the launch of the London EV Infrastructure Delivery Plan at the Institution of Engineering and Technology today, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said:
‘London’s air is so dirty and polluted that it amounts to nothing less than a serious public health crisis. It breaches legal limits and blights the lives of Londoners, resulting in thousands of premature deaths every year. We are also facing a climate emergency that threatens the long-term security and wellbeing of every Londoner.
We need to reject the fossil fuels of the past and embrace an electric revolution in London’s transport. To truly transform the quality of our air and to tackle the climate crisis London must move away from petrol and diesel cars, with their catastrophic impact on the environment, and towards zero- emission vehicles.
I want London to lead the world in this ambition, with all new cars and vans on London roads to meeting these standards by 2030, not 2040 as the government is proposing. To make this vision a reality we must make sure all Londoners have access to the essential infrastructure required to run and maintain an electric vehicle. This is a massive operation and can only be achieved if the public and private sector come together to deliver London’s electric future.’

With the introduction of the newest technology of emission-free vehicles, London taxis provide an environmentally friendly and high-quality service
[dt_divider style=”thick” /]
Our unique combination of offering environmentally friendly Electric taxis, professionally trained chauffeurs and in-depth knowledge of London means our comprehensive range of services are valued by discerning business and private customers throughout the city of London. We offer a truly personal service with drivers and customer service who take pride in the level of care and attention paid to make sure passengers enjoy the best possible customer experience using Sherbet RIDE.
The fact that the experience of using black cabs in London has improved significantly with the introduction of the new environmentally-friendly electric taxis, which replace the existing TX model, has been recognised by the press. However, there is very little coverage about Electric taxi accessibility.
Many passengers want to know certain safety details such as how much headroom there is in the doorway, how sturdy the ramp is and what the turning circle inside is like.
Our accessibility trained professional Electric taxi drivers will have the ramp ready for passengers who use a wheelchair at arrival. The ramp is sturdy and can handle up to 250kg and is suitable for the majority of wheelchair users. For a hassle-free experience, the ramp is located in between the floor of the taxi and can take just a few seconds to be taken out, set up, and slid away.
In contrast with the old TX’s, all-electric taxis benefit from large headroom and space inside which makes turning a wheelchair around and travelling forwards or backwards very easy.
The interior floor is completely flat, without intrusion, and covered in a slip-resistant material. What’s more, electric taxis have a simpler set of restraining belts to hold a wheelchair in place, longer than usual high-visibility handles and seat edges, swivel seats for easy access, a hearing loop on the intercom system and a built-in step to help passengers get into the door.
The rear-hinged passenger door opens a full 90 degrees to create a large, un-obtruded aperture with a minimum width at its narrowest point of 80cm.
In conclusion, Electric taxis are significantly more accessible than other TX models on the road. Both drivers and passengers can benefit from the newest safety and technology features in environmentally friendly low emission vehicles.

Comments Off on Ethos Asset Finance Campaign on Sherbet Electric Taxi
A leading UK asset finance firm is plugging into the green taxi revolution being led by tougher legislation and environmentally-conscious passengers.
[dt_divider style=”thick” /]
Over the first quarter of 2019, Ethos Asset Finance – one of the country’s principal finance providers to the taxi, chauffeur and private hire sectors – has seen enquiries for the sourcing and funding of electric cabs rise by 15 per cent.
The London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) – which makes electric black cabs – reported that in the traditionally quiet month of October (2018) it had sold 172 electric taxis across the UK, 160 of which were purchased through its London dealership.
And with Transport for London introducing legislation that requires all new taxi services operating in the capital to be zero-emissions capable, it is forecast that by the end of 2020 some 9,000 of the city’s 21,000 taxis would be electric.
To raise awareness that finance for electric cabs is available to cabbies, Ethos Asset Finance has sponsored Sherbet London LEVC-built taxi to cleanly – and quietly – operate around the streets of London.
Chris Brown, who set up Ethos Asset Finance in 2007 after two decades in the banking industry, said:
“Over the last 12 years, we have become the ‘go to’ finance expert for firms and individuals operating in the taxi, chauffeur and private hire sectors. In the early days, we were purely financing petrol and diesel cars, but over recent years these are steadily being overtaken by hybrid and electric vehicles. In the first quarter of this year, we have seen a sharp rise in enquiries for electric taxis – in particular LEVC black cabs. We see this as very much a growth sector for us, one for us to plug into. And thanks to our reputation, those seeking finance for electric cabs are making a beeline for Ethos Asset Finance.”
As a part of the campaign Sherbet Ride provided an exclusive pick up – drop off service for Ethos Finance Managing Director and owner Chris Brown during his visit to London. Chris enjoyed his journey in the Eco friendly Ethos Asset Finance branded electric taxi equipped with 4G WiFi, charging points and air-con.

Comments Off on Ride in London’s New Electric Taxi
Electric taxis are becoming popular on London’s streets with constant growing interest from both passenger’s and driver’s side
[dt_divider style=”thick” /]
Here are some new exciting features which make the passenger love and appreciate electric taxi rides.
Recently, I was able to ride as a passenger in the newest Sherbet Electric taxi around London. The first thing that stands out is how spacious it is – there were six available passenger seats including wheelchair accessibility which makes the ride truly pleasant and comfortable.
The passenger area utters a luxurious feel. The high ceiling which is, in fact, a panoramic roof, for the first time gives the passenger an opportunity to discover London’s sky comfortably from their seat. This feature makes you realise how much the passenger was missing out on when sited under the usual blank roof. The ride in an electric taxi creates a feeling that can be compared to sitting in an isolated VIP compartment rather than the seats of a taxi.
Licensed London taxis are known for being loud. You will be surprised how hardly noticeable the movement of the electric taxi is. They are absent from the noisy diesel and clanging vibrations of taxis’ older versions. You can easily unwind, work or relax and hold a conversation without any noise disruptions.
London electric vehicle company (LEVC) has equipped every TXE taxi with USB charging points as well as a full-size power socket which can be used to charge your laptop or smartphone for example. On top of that, you’re able to gain access to free 4G Wifi while onboard, control air conditioning with climate control and switch on/off the speaker to communicate with your taxi driver. You can also make payments via cash and card including contactless.
I booked my journey via Sherbet Ride which is now live and taking bookings. Passengers can book in many ways. There are a user-friendly app, a web booker and a telephone booking service. Sherbet Ride also offers very competitive fixed fares, so the cost of the journey is known from the start.
With the introduction of the Ultra-low Emission zone in London this April, more businesses will be moving over to taxi companies that operate an electric fleet. Businesses in the zone need to think about ways to reduce pollution and reduce their carbon footprint.

Comments Off on Things the Driver Will Love About the Sherbet London Electric Taxi
The new London taxi models are increasingly populating the capital’s streets – here are the things you will love about Sherbet London taxis.
Besides it is fully equipped with exciting and enjoyable new features for the passenger such as onboard 4G Free WiFi, charging sockets for mobile phones and laptops and dazzling panoramic roof, the Sherbet London Electric Taxis offers most comfortable and efficient taxi driving experience so far.
Battery Life
Certainly, the good news for the Electric taxi owners is that its battery charge will last 24 hours (considering the average 80-120 mile driving distance). Even more, the charging itself (boosting to 80% with a 50kw charger) only takes 25 minutes.
Saving the Environment
There’s no surprise to hear that the Electric taxis is significantly more environmentally friendly than the standard diesel TX4. In fact, from 1st January 2019, all new black taxis in London must have emissions of no more than 50g/km as well as a minimum zero-emission range of 30 miles. The Electric taxi company manufacturer LEVC built the TXE model that can drive 80 miles with 0 emissions (Carbon emissions of 29g/km driving on the range extender).
Demand
The completely new (Bentley-like) TXE design definitely increases the number of hands on the streets that hail the taxi down. People want to experience a ride in the new iconic black taxis as well as contribute to a greener environment. What is more, the ‘for hire’ light always looks like its on even though it’s been switched off so expect people constantly wanting to hail.
Safety
The new safety features in the Electric taxi include the driver’s wheel, thorax and curtain airbags, passengers additional curtain airbags for side impact protection, emergence autonomous braking, lane departure warnings, and forward collision warnings.
Smooth Ride
Comparing to diesel TX4’s the Sherbet London Electric Taxis offers a significantly smoother and effortless ride for both the driver and passengers. Firstly, the TXE has regenerative braking which essentially slows the vehicle when you lift your foot off the accelerators. It is incredibly quiet and unlike the diesel engine, the driving noise is hardly noticeable on the streets and inside the taxi.
Cost Effective
The new London taxi model has significantly lower running costs comparing to standard TX’s. For example, the driver is saving up to £110 per week on fuel! Over five years that adds up to saving over £27k! (Based on an average price of fuel from April last year)
