Cab Direct Take on the Challenge

Leading taxi supplier Cab Direct’s staff gave it their all as they tackled a 5K run to raise money for the wheelchair rehabilitation charity WheelPower.
 
Staff at Cab Direct’s head office in Glasgow took part in the 5k Fun Run, organised by the North Glasgow Healthy Living Community. The charity’s main objective is to increase aspirations, promote opportunities and facilitate positive changes within these communities and the annual fun run has proved a great success in doing just that.
 
Over 2,200 fun runners participated in what turned out to be the biggest of its kind since the event started three years ago. The event attracted a very diverse crowd from serious runners to zany joggers in fancy dress - even some pooches were seen sporting their running gear!
 
En route entertainment from local bands and a bag piper contributed to the party atmosphere by keeping the fun runners in good sprits and helped encourage everyone to keep smiling despite their tired legs.
 
Allied Vehicles, Cab Direct’s parent company, were one of this years sponsors of the 5k and a group of enthusiastic Cab Direct staff took on the challenge of running the race. 
 
Leighanne Hutcheson in Cab Direct’s marketing department commented on the race: “It was a fantastic day with a great turnout. Everyone was in good spirits and we all had a great time!”
 
The team for Cab Direct were running to raise vital funds for WheelPower, the national charity for wheelchair sport that helps disabled men, women and children
 

achieve their sporting aspirations. The group collected £360 for WheelPower that will go towards the purchase of sports wheelchairs.

Well done guys!

Robert Marie - another ecstatic E7 customer

Robert Marie MBE from Jersey recently took delivery of his new E7 and is delighted with his choice. Having previously owned 3 E7’s, Robert had opted for a change with his last taxi and bought a VW minibus. However, following last years motor show in Coventry he decided that the new E7 was definitely the car for him and since reverting back to the tailor-made taxi from Peugeot he couldn’t be happier.
 
Robert commented: “The new E7 is definitely the taxi for me. It has everything – visibility, spaciousness, safety and miles to the gallon. It’s absolutely ideal and I won’t go back to driving anything else.”
 
DSC_0029.JPGAnd Robert isn’t the only one enthusing about new E7 as he explained: “People are always commenting on the taxi and saying how nice it is, other drivers and customers alike – it happens all the time. In fact, my last customer has only just mentioned what a lovely taxi it is.”
 
Robert went on to say: “I’d recommend the E7 to anybody. You can’t get a better taxi in my opinion. It is, by far, the best taxi I’ve ever driven.”
 
And he isn’t joking. Robert is so impressed with the new E7 that not only has he recommended it to other drivers in his area but he has even pinned up leaflets at Jersey Airport.
 
There is no disputing the E7’s exceptional driveability with numerous independent road tests highlighting the vehicle’s superb all-round vision, manoeuvrability and handling. Purpose built for the taxi market, New E7 brings you even more ground-braking features ideal for the modern day driver and Robert Marie, another happy customer, is testament to that.

SsangYong relaunches the Rodius with 250,000 mile warranty

Big in size, huge in value, the SsangYong Rodius combines the luxury and sophistication of a saloon with the versatility and spaciousness you’d expect from a large people carrier. Measuring 5125mm long, 1915mm wide and 1820mm tall, the seven-seater Rodius is, simply, the largest MPV in its class and offers exceptional performance and handling for the size. With high standard specification, flexible centre seating and cavernous boot space you’d expect it to cost the earth – think again. 

Reassurance

Now SsangYong have joined forces with Cab Direct to relaunch the Rodius in the taxi market. And the great news for cabbies is that the Rodius now comes with the reassurance of a special 3 year, 250,000 mile taxi warranty, providing you with one of the best guarantees in the business.
For the taxi operator Cab Direct now offer the Rodius S and ES, each with a 2.7 litre turbo diesel engine, producing163bhp and 342Nm of pulling power.
The 270 S starts from the amazingly low price of only £14,995 and is equipped with ABS, remote keyless entry, speed-sensing door locks, climate control and Kenwood audio system. It is also hugely practical with multiple seat variations and useful extras such as two 12v DC power outlets.

The Rodius 270 ES gains reverse parking sensors, auto headlights, electric folding mirrors, privacy glass, alloy wheels, ESP and leather upholstery for only £2,000 more. Mercedes T-Tronic 5-speed automatic transmission is also available and is expected to prove popular with the taxi trade.
Sales Director of Cab Direct, Peter Facenna, commented: “Being the largest MPV in its class, the Rodius is tailor-made for the taxi trade. And at such an affordable price it offers unrivalled value for money. We are extremely happy to be working with SsangYong and expect the Rodius to be a big hit with drivers.”
