The London EV Company (LEVC), part of the Geely Holding Group, is developing the electric TX taxi. It needed a reliable automotive components provider that was able to supply a consistent service.
TR conducted an internal review to understand LEVC’s needs and project teams from both companies were assigned to work together.
TR established a stable service provision for LEVC. The company now provides 350 components used in the vehicles and to the Tier 1’s that supply the drive train, brakes, lighting clusters, car seats, IP console and battery pack.
As part of the deal, TR provided additional on-site customer support. It set about reviewing stock quantities to understand any gaps in the system, established working relationships and collaborated with the engineers on the ground to understand their needs. TR, as the supplier, shared data sheets with engineers and purchasing, agreeing on specifications, and this sped up the process of producing products and gaining PPAP approvals. Additionally, TR was asked to manage other bespoke parts on LEVC’s behalf, and these, too, were added to the bill of materials.
TR showcased the electric TX taxi at the Automechanika Show in Birmingham.
