Warsaw Welcomes the London Taxi

COVENTRY, UNITED KINGDOM – January 22, 2010: Warsaw is about to play host to a very special new arrival in the form of the world famous London Taxi. The vehicle, which is being promoted by a local Polish company called Dufort London Taxis, is to get its first public unveiling in the capital city, Warsaw on the 26th January.

The event is to be held at Motortest, an established car dealership and vehicle repair workshop centre, situated in close proximity to Warsaw’s airport starting at 5pm.

This is the first European launch of the year for the London Taxi and its new International Sales brand The London Taxi Company.

“When we began selling the taxi internationally from our new production plant in China, we wanted a new brand for LTI that made it obvious who we are and what we do.” said Matthew Cheyne, International Market Development Director for The London Taxi Company.

“We have been building the taxi in the UK for over 60 years now and no one knows more about taxis than we do. Producing in China gives us a more global appeal now so we aim to see the London Taxi on sale all over the world. Poland is the first European Capital city to launch the London Taxi in 2010 and we are sure it won’t be the last. In 2009, we sold vehicles in Germany Spain, Austria, Serbia and Kosovo. ”

Jacek Kurowski, the official representative for the London Taxi manufacturer in Poland, is delighted with the reaction people are having when they hear of the arrival.

“Many people are looking forward to seeing the vehicle here in Poland. It will initially be run by a leading local taxi company called Wawa, who will operate it as a premium service taxi. The London Taxi is more than just the greatest taxi in the world, it is also part of the greatest taxi service in the world and that is what we are planning to bring to Poland.”

Jacek has worked hard with The London taxi Company to bring the taxi to Poland.

“People deserve a choice other than the local cheap mini–cab style taxis and expensive limousines. Now they can have that choice with the London Taxi and a world class professional taxi service. They get a fantastic unique vehicle, a great service, professional drivers and their own private space in the cab. What more could people want?”
