LTI CONDITIONS OF FITNESS ANNOUNCEMENT REACTION STATEMENT
23 December 2005 - London Taxi

''LTI Vehicles welcomes the reinforcement of the original decision in June 2003 that the Conditions of Fitness for London Taxicabs will be enhanced not weakened.

The Conditions of Fitness are one of the key regulatory pillars upon which the world renowned London taxi service is built. Another key pillar is the Knowledge test for drivers. Both combine to produce a high standard of driver who knows all of London’s streets and a recognisable; accessible; durable and manoeuvrable vehicle. That is a vehicle that is the best tool for the job.

LTI is looking forward to working with the Mayor of London; the Greater London Authority (GLA); Transport for London (TfL) and the Public Carriage Office (PCO) to meet the new enhanced standards as we have done for the last 50 years. LTI is proud to play its part in providing a world class vehicle fit for purpose.

The CoF announcement reaffirms and modernises these important regulations for another generation. The new Conditions will ensure that the famous London taxi remains an icon – constantly evolving to keep pace with technological improvements – and that London’s taxi service remains the best in the world.

LTI is proud to play its part in providing a world class vehicle fit for its purpose.''
