  • First drive: Geely TX4 taxi arrives in Melbourne
    First drive: Geely TX4 taxi arrives in Melbourne GoAuto drives the first Chinese-built London Taxi to touch down on the east coast 21 Aug 2014 THIS Geely TX4 is the first of its kind anywhere on the east coast of Australia, but with approval to operate commercially now finalised by the Victorian Taxi Services Commission, its numbers could be about to multiply. As a purpose-built fare-paying people-mover, its importer – the London Taxi Co Australia – says it has enough unique features to lure passengers and operators away from the traditional yellow cabs, and that a successful Western Australia trial is repeatable in Melbourne. We scrubbed up on our 'knowledge' and jumped behind the wheel of what could be the first of many of the iconic vehicles to hit Victorian roads in the coming months. Distinguishing the uniquely styled Geely apart from any other car on the road is possible from a distance, and although it is significantly different to the original Hackney Carriage, the family resemblance is still obvious. So unmistakable is the design that operational versions will not have to be coloured yellow on Victorian roads. Black, white and the pearlescent silver of our test car are all standard colours. We began our day as a passenger and upon climbing aboard, the differences between the TX4 and all other taxis became immediately obvious. Large 90-degree opening doors and a high roof creates a voluminous passenger space with room for five, while wheelchair and disabled passengers have the option of either a ramp or swiveling seat to board. The folding ramp is stored in the small boot along with a full-sized spare-wheel and takes about a minute to install. With a wheelchair aboard there is still room for two further able-bodied passengers. Unlike a Maxi-Taxi, the Geely allows all rear occupants to face one another, with the three-seat rear-bench facing two independent rear-facing folding seats. Isofix child-seat anchors are also fitted. The generous passenger area is isolated from the driver's section by a full-width and height high-strength glass panel, but communication with the driver is still possible via an intercom system, which can be switched off for privacy. Small bags can be carried by the passengers in the seating area but larger cases have their own 437-litre storage area up-front where a second front seat would be located in a normal car. The high roof-line and tall windows offer passengers a good view of the surroundings and feels spacious, but thanks to a 2000kg kerb-weight and suspension specially tuned for Australia, we found the ride most surprising. Over poorly maintained roads, the London Taxi let very few jolts and vibrations in and the seats provided a comfortable position for any typical taxi journey. All TX4s also have alloy-wheels and special taxi tyres as standard, which The London Taxi Co says improves the ride quality further still. Another development for Australia is the on-board WiFi connection, which as part of a deal with a major Australian internet provider, costs nothing to the passenger or driver. USB phone and laptop charging points are also fitted for the use of passengers and driver alike. Passengers can control interior lighting, electric windows and air-conditioning independently of the driver and a flat-sealed floor makes boarding, alighting and cleaning simpler than conventional cars. After leaving a particularly generous tip we moved up to the business end and took the London Taxi on a few laps of Melbourne's CBD. As part of the development process from a nine-month ongoing Western Australian trial, the variants coming to the east coast have undergone a few design changes which effect the driver too. The single front seat is now more supportive and has a very commercial vehicle upright position, which promotes good posture and a very clear view of the road and surroundings. A large amount of dash space has been left free to accommodate any necessary equipment in addition to the ceiling-mounted meter, which avoids the frequent cluttering of regular car interiors with electronics when converted for taxi use. A 2.4-litre VM Motori diesel engine powers the Geely with an automatic transmission, and has more than enough grunt to make good progress even when loaded up, but delivers power progressively to maintain a smooth ride for occupants. The diesel engine is smooth and unobtrusive, and The London Taxi Co says the TX4 will return a working fuel consumption of about 8.0 litres per 100km. Despite its capacious interior, the Geely TX4 is surprisingly compact on the outside and negotiating traffic and tricky maneuvers was simple, aided by the good all-round visibility and well-positioned mirrors. Test drivers in Perth requested a boost to braking performance and the Series II system is 30 per cent more efficient. The pedal requires a good prod to slow down quickly, but this encourages a very smooth and more comfortable driving style. Used as an operational taxi, regular sedan models converted for paying passengers have an approved life of 6.5 years, but because the Geely is a purpose-built model with adaptions especially for Australia, it will be able to keep taking passengers for up to 10 years. Despite being a bespoke machine, operators of the new cabs will not charge a premium over existing yellow taxis, although when all five seats are occupied a charge similar to larger Maxi-cab fares may be applied. One of the features London cabs have always been famous for is the ability to turn around in the London Savoy Hotel's small entrance roundabout and the Chinese cab is able to complete the turn with ease. Its turning circle is just 7.5-meters, which is tight enough to turn inside two lane widths and about three meters smaller than a Ford Fiesta can manage. But the most surprising feature of the London Taxi is the response it provokes from passers by. One onlooker asked to take pictures, a handful excitedly hailed us and one pedestrian even shouted [we want more" as we passed, indicating the likeable vehicles will be well received in the southern state. We enjoyed both driving and being driven in Geely's TX4 London Taxi, but with the first fare-taking examples expected on Melbourne's streets before Christmas, don't just take our word for it. Hail one and see for yourself.

  • Chinese car maker wins favor in Iranian market
    Now to Iran, which used to be an important transportation hub and trade center of the old Silk Road. Centuries have passed, and Iran has still retained its position on Asia-European trade routes. Yang Xiaowei visited Iran`s second-largest auto maker, and checks out the cooperation bwtween China and Iran on car making industry. Auto making is considered the industry with the biggest potential in Iran, and the production value accounts for about 10% of GDP. According to data from the international organization of motor vehicle manufacturers, Iran produced 1.1 million cars in 2014, a 46% increase over the previous year. Due to economic sanctions and high tariffs, the development of the industry has suffered constraints. Facing such a booming market, many foreign companies have been preparing for a long time. Chinese automakers entered Iran back in 2002 and have gained their footholds. The largest cooperation project in recent years came from China's brilliance and Iran`s Saipa Group. "Iran is an important platform in the Middle East for the brilliance group. We follow the practice of [first trade, then invest" in overseas markets. We have developed trade with Saipa Group for many years. The transition to investment started in 2013. It took less than two years on the construction of the production lines," Qi Yumin, chairman of Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd., said. Saipa Group is Iran`s second-largest auto maker and shares 90% of the local market with another giant IKCO. The two production lines were put into use in May this year. Brilliance provides parts and technical support while Saipa undertakes assembly. Brilliance takes inspiration on BMW's design elements which have better performance and are more cost-effective. The Saipa group is responsible for the selling and maintenance. The after-sales service of Saipa is famous, so this car in Iran is very popular. This type of cooperation is also conducive to technological upgrading and local economic development. It`s just as good for consumers. Chinese sedans have won a good reputation by virtue of its cost performance. Iran is also working on new incentives to encourage foreign capital into auto manufacturing. "Iran and its neighboring countries have great demand for cars. Our government has required localized production. So we work with Brilliance not only for the two production lines. We also need localized tools production rather than relying on imported tools. I hope Brilliance invests directly in local factories. We also hope to expand into the Middle East market," Ramin Manafi, project manager of Saipa, said. The [Belt and Road" provides an open platform for all kinds of participants along the route. Spearheaded by Saipa Cooperation, Iranian companies have taken the first step. They are full of confidence towards future and believe they can get even more from the initiative. (Source: CNTV)

  • Chery to build cars in Iran
    China's biggest domestic automaker, Chery, is opening a factory in Iran, expanding its fast-growing foreign ties soon after announcing ventures with Chrysler and Fiat. BEIJING–China`s biggest domestic automaker, Chery, is opening a factory in Iran, expanding its fast-growing foreign ties soon after announcing ventures with Chrysler and Fiat. The $370 million (U.S.) plant in Babol, in northern Iran, will be developed with Iran`s biggest automaker, Khodro Co., and Canadian investment firm Solitac, Chery Automobile Co. said on its website. The factory will assemble Chery`s compact S21 sedan, also known as the QQ6, from kits supplied by Chery, the statement said. They are to be sold in Iran and surrounding countries. The venture [can strengthen Chery`s competitiveness in Iran or even in the entire Middle East market so as to build up Chery into a `Chinese brand in the world market,'" Chery president Yin Tongyao said in the statement. Chery said it would own 30 per cent of the Iranian factory, with Khodro holding 49 per cent and Solitac 21 per cent. Chery, based in the eastern city of Wuhu, signed a deal last month with Chrysler Group to make cars for export to the United States and other markets. Last week, Chery and Fiat Group unveiled a deal to produce Fiat and Alfa Romeo models for sale in China. China`s small but ambitious automakers are eager to expand abroad and have been forging ties with foreign partners in hopes of improving their technology and market access. China overtook Japan last year to become the world`s No. 2 vehicle market after the United States. Chery also assembles vehicles with partners in Russia, Ukraine, Egypt, Uruguay and Indonesia.
