New York, NY (PRWEB) November 15, 2010

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg named a design by the international car and truck manufacturer Karsan USA one of three finalists for New York Citys Taxi of Tomorrow. Karsans roomy, cutting-edge design, environmentally advanced, fully accessible vehicle promises to revolutionize the taxi passenger experience in New York City.

The Karsan design would allow New York City to be the worlds first city with a fleet that would be 100% accessible and compliant with the historic Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The large passenger cabin features comfortable seating for up to five, as well as space for strollers, suitcases or shopping bags. The unique panoramic glass roof is perfectly suited to the vertical landscape of NYC, allowing passengers to view the citys skyscrapers as they drive through New Yorks streets.

One of the most distinctive advantages of the Karsan submission is that it is specifically designed and built just as a taxi, and does not need to be retrofitted from an exisiting van design. The environmentally friendly car is fully accessible and ADA-compliant without any need of retrofitting or additions. It has an automated ramp for wheelchairs on either side, specially-designed wide doors that open up to 90 degrees, and keyboard and Braille communication for the hearing and visually impaired. The design is flexible and will accommodate public input or any revisions of the Taxi and Limousine Commission.

The Karsan taxi will once again make the New York taxi a world icon, said William Wachtel, President, Karsan USA. Not since the great Checker cabs, which were designed precisely to provide the comfortable, roomy experience for taxi passengers, has there been a taxi purposely designed to meet the needs of New York City passengers and drivers. Since then, New York taxicabs have been adapted and retrofitted from regular passenger car production models, and as a result have cramped space with insufficient leg room and uncomfortable seating. By contrast, this new design is for a purpose-built taxi, a vehicle that will comfortably sit five passengers, and for the first time, be accessible to all New Yorkers and visitors. New York used to be known for its taxis; the Karsan design will reintroduce a superior taxi experience that will once again set the standard for the world.

We applaud the Mayors vision to modernize urban taxi travel, said Karsan Executive Director Jan Nahum. We are honored to be a finalist, and we hope to be part of New Yorks future. New York’s Taxi of Tomorrow project is unique. It represents the greatest opportunity to design a comfortable, modern, sustainable, accessible taxi that will become the model for taxi service around the world.

The Karsan taxi would be assembled in Turkey with a significant portion of the parts by value made in the United States. As part of its proposal, Karsan is planning to build a 40,000 square-foot repair, training and service facility in New York City, initially creating more than 100 jobs.

Highlights of the Karsan taxi design include:
