LEVC continues to expand dealer network as it adds Manchester base

The LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) has continued to expand its UK dealer network with the appointment of a new sales partner, HTC Van Centre, providing complete sales support for the TX taxi and VN5 electric van across the Greater Manchester region.

HTC Van Centre, which is based in the Trafford area of the city, brings the number of UK-based LEVC sales locations to 17, along with more than 31 additional service centres across the country.

Joerg Hofmann, CEO of LEVC, commented: “We are delighted to welcome HTC Van Centre to our UK network, expanding LEVC’s presence in Manchester. LEVC provides the leading solution for businesses looking for a no-compromise, flexible, purpose-built and green vehicle.”

Justin Seal, HTC Group General Manager Vans, said: “We’re extremely proud to add LEVC to our commercial vehicle business. LEVC is a world-leading manufacturer of EVs and HTC is looking forward to showing the fantastic TX and VN5 products with our existing customer base, as well as introduce them to new customers along the way.”

LEVC’s electric TX taxi eliminates range anxiety, minimises CO2 emissions and optimises profitability thanks to its unique eCity technology. It offers a pure electric, zeroemission range of 64 miles (103km) and is capable of a total range of up to 318 miles (512km) thanks to its innovative rangeextending technology. Regardless of age, gender or disability, TX is an accessible and inclusive vehicle for all passengers. It also qualifies for the Plug-in Taxi Grant (PITG), reducing its price by £7,500.

The VN5 electric van is based on the same innovative architecture and proven eCity technology as LEVC’s TX electric taxi. With a pure EV range of over 60 miles and a total flexible range of 304 miles, the VN5 is ideally suited to urban deliveries in zero-emission mode, as well as longer journeys outside of town.
