Taxi "Milano" concept car that has been created is a minivan in the city adjusted to the needs of taxi drivers and their passengers in their many innovative features like sliding a revolving door, which opened in the direction of advanced and customized touch-screen taxi. Two-tone paint concept car - a green and black - is a celebration of the Volkswagen brand into the fashion metropolis of Milan. That's where the taxis are painted in a combination so precise. A beautiful tradition and example of how this concept can be visually customized with a special taxi to see the city anywhere in the world. Until then, it must be said that the taxi Milano is still a pure concept vehicle. However, the style bears similarities to the legendary Volkswagen Samba Bus, emission free transmission system and very real practical benefits of a nice compact space can quickly create a highly coveted car in cities such as Milan, Berlin, New York, Beijing, Cape Town, London, Moscow or Tokyo.
Similar in style to the Volkswagen Samba Bus of the 1950s, the outer roof areas are designed to be transparent (as part of the doors in front and at the right rear). This unmistakable design characteristic of the brand – together with a panoramic glass roof – creates a bright and friendly interior ambiance. In addition, passengers aboard the taxi will appreciate the added viewing perspective of the city’s architecture. Also designed in a translucent material is the taxi sign mounted over the glass roof; the taxi lettering lights green when the taxi is available and red when it is not, and it is unlit whenever the car and driver are taking a break.
The Milano Taxi, with its top speed of 120 km/h is driven by an electric motor with a peak power of 85 kW (continuous power: 50 kW). The motor is supplied with energy via a lithium-ion battery integrated in the concept car’s underbody. Thanks to the implemented battery storage capacity of 45 Kilowatt-hours (kWh) and the relatively low vehicle weight (1,500 kilograms), despite the battery, it is possible to cover distances of up to 300 kilometres (per NEDC) depending on driving style. The storage battery can readily be recharged to up to 80 percent of its total capacity in just over one hour, the exact time depending on the available recharging infrastructure and battery’s momentary charge state.
