Nissan inicia producción del Taxi del mañana (NissanmxRP)

The winner of New York City's "Taxi of Tomorrow" competition has now begun production at Nissan's commercial vehicle plant in Mexico.

In 2011, after two years of competitive trials, Nissan's custom-designed NV200 Taxi was chosen to become New York City's Taxi of Tomorrow. After refinements, engineering finalization, and more testing, the taxis are finally entering production to begin deliveries by 2014.

The taxis, based on Nissan's popular NV200 small package delivery van, are heavily modified to meet the requirements of New York City's huge taxi fleets. These include passenger accommodations, handicapped entry and egress, lighting, and the exclusive New York Taxi Yellow paint. Special underfloor sealing and other specifics have also been engineered for the taxis to withstand the harsh weather and driving conditions NYC boasts. A panoramic roof to keep tourists interested in the city's skyline was also included in the taxi.
