The TX4 is a purpose-built taxicab (hackney carriage) manufactured by The London Taxi Company (formerly LTI Vehicles), a subsidiary of Geely Automobile of China.
The TX4 is the latest in a long line of purpose built taxis produced by The London Taxi Company and various predecessor entities. The design has evolved via several mutations from the Austin FX3 of the 1950s. The TX4 takes virtually all of its body styling from its predecessor, the TXII.
The TX4 features a new front radiator grille, an updated interior design, updated front and rear bumpers, and a different rear vehicle registration number plate surround compared to the TXII. There are now internal headrests as a result of EU safety regulations. The only engine offered in the UK is a 2.5 litre VM Motori R 425 DOHC diesel engine mated to a Chrysler five speed automatic transmission. An Eaton five speed manual transmission is also available.
