The NEW
Volkswagen Berlin Taxi Concept was created as a second city van tailored to the needs of taxi drivers and their passengers. The Volkswagen Berlin Taxi Concept is 1.60 metres tall, 3.73 metres long – or more accurately short, and 1.66 metres wide. It features many innovative details such as a forward-opening sliding door and customisable taxi touchscreens.
The
Volkswagen Berlin Taxi Concept 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 actual time will depend on the available recharging infrastructure and battery’s momentary charge state.
