EDINBURGH

LEZ Compliant Solution

Low Emission Zones (LEZ) have been introduced across Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, to improve air quality and protect public health.

Diesel powered taxis must meet Euro 6 emission standards in order to be compliant. The Scottish Government are helping taxi drivers to meet these LEZ standards through grant funding.

Our CVRAS approved retrofit solution replaces the diesel fuel system in non-compliant TX4 cabs with a brand new, Euro 6, petrol-LPG engine.

Edinburgh Council extend the operating license for LPG powered cabs by 4 years.

What is included?

Brand new 2.0L turbo petrol-LPG engine, featuring our latest GEN3 system, specifically adapted to operate on LPG.

Including a brand new exhaust system, catalytic converter, radiator, full tank of LPG and Petrol, testing, wheelchair ramp cover, tyre repair kit, 2year/80k mile warranty, CVRAS & UKLPG registration.

Cost: £2,760*

*When using the current grant of £11,040

Without the grant the total cost of the retrofit is:

£11,500 + VAT

(£13,800 inc. VAT)

Note: If you received the disposal grant for a previous cab within the last 12 months, this amount will be deducted from the grant total

Larger petrol tank option

Subject to availability at time of installation, we have manufactured some larger 40ltr petrol tanks, to give additional peace of mind and added range.

This option is now available for all TX4 Euro 4 models & Euro 5 models.
