Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today unveiled the Nissan NV200 Taxi in Hong Kong. The new taxi launch was celebrated with several groups, including Direction Association for the Handicapped, which provides assistance to the elderly and rehabilitation services for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses.
The new NV200 Taxi offers barrier-free access to taxi riders in Hong Kong thanks to the award-winning universal design layout. Among the riders who may benefit from this new taxi concept are wheelchair users, who can easily roll on and off the taxi through the back door via a ramp. More than 750 units of the NV200 Taxi with universal design are already operating in Japan.
"We are delighted to see the universal design taxi from Nissan on the road in Hong Kong. This barrier-free mode of transportation will be offered through a regular taxi service. I am confident that this new taxi will offer more transportation choices to all people in Hong Kong," said Lee Yuen Tai, Chairman of the Direction Association for the Handicapped, at the unveiling ceremony.
