While the piece itself focussed on studded tyres, I bet the real
reason is "battery capacity at sub-zero temperatures".

We get a lot of them in London, of course!

It's a "world car" or so we are apparently told.

They'll be lucky. LTi have tried to flog black cabs around the world a
number of times IIRC. Unsurprisingly no one wanted an underpowered, ugly,
expensive (compared to alternatives) diesel vehicle

Perhaps that's why they are trying out this new hybrid design???????

Its still fugly and will no doubt be underpowered and cost a fortune. I don't
think ford, toyota or nissan will be particularly worried about losing much
business.
