Record Hackney Sales at Cab Direct
Despite all the economic gloom in the papers one British factory is enjoying record output. The boom at taxi specialist Cab Direct’s main manufacturing plant comes on the back of record sales of its hackney taxi range across the UK.
The Taxi Specialists
With no middle man and more than 20 years experience of serving the taxi trade, Cab Direct have built a reputation based on reliability and trust. Manufactured to the highest standards and tailor made for the professional driver, Cab Direct’s expanded range of hackneys is designed to impress.
Now offering three different vehicles and a host of models to choose from, including the market-leading Peugeot E7™, the stylish Mercedes-Benz M8™ and the economical Citroen EuroTaxi™, Cab Direct’s hackney range offers something for everyone.
Peugeot E7™
Since its launch, The Peugeot E7 has become a favourite amongst hard working cabbies. Designed and manufactured jointly by Peugeot and Cab Direct, reliability and performance are hallmarks of E7’s continued success. Comfort levels and driveability in the E7 are second to none. Plus, with a host of ground breaking features, including the EasySlide™ rear seat offering additional luggage space and the revolutionary EasyGlide™ under-floor ramp, E7 is the perfect vehicle for the modern day driver.
Mercedes-Benz M8™
For that added touch of class, the original Mercedes hackney from Cab Direct combines superb engineering with full hackney features for the prefect working environment. The Mercedes-Benz brand inevitably prompts high expectations – and you won’t be disappointed. Cab Direct and Mercedes have joined forces to bring you the ultimate taxi, tailor made for the professional driver. Now available in both short and long models and with a choice of automatic or manual transmission, opt for the perfect cab for you.
Citroen EuroTaxi™
No doubt adding to Cab Direct’s success is the recently launched Citroen EuroTaxi, providing excellent earning power at an unbeatable price. Introduced across the UK in April this year, the EuroTaxi has been popular amongst economically minded cabbies. From only £18,995 on the road the EuroTaxi is Cab Direct’s lowest costing full-spec hackney combining all the requirements of the today’s busy cabbie with unbeatable value for money.
Cab Direct sales director, Peter Facenna, suggests that the recent peak in sales is not only thanks to the demand from drivers for the company’s ever popular hackney vehicles but also due, in part, to the current economic climate. He comments: “As we all know, finance companies have tightened their belts, restricting the availability of credit. This has had a knock on effect to both the trade and to our competitors. However, we still have special agreements with a range of reputable finance companies and are delighted to be in a position to continue to offer competitive finance rates to our customers. I think this has proved critical to our success in these tough times.”
“It really is great to see our products proving so popular and for a 100% British-owned company to be able to increase the number of shop-floor assembly jobs here in the UK.”
