Ford, Nissan and Karsan (A Turkish car manufacturer) were three of the lucky companies to have the opportunity to design a 'new taxi' for New York citizens this month. All three vehicles remind us of small transit vans with unique features within each vehicle.
Karsan's approach to the design is to have a ramp which will allow wheelchair access as well as a rear-seat pull down seat in order to make taxi trips more social. Ford & Nissan have approached the project with comfort and space at the forefront of their design, demonstrating how their vehicles will supply the general public with comfort and stability whilst riding as a passenger. You can see from the images below how much more room passengers will have riding in one of the vehicles.
The lucky winner will be announced in early 2011 with a contract worth $1 billion.
Which do you prefer?
