By train to a foreign city, then quickly out of the station building and into a taxi. Many business trips were and still are like this. Even many a holiday begins this way. And what kind of car is standing at the taxi stand in your mind’s eye? At least for our German readers, the answer is probably “a Mercedes”. Yet the days when taxi drivers almost exclusively drove around Germany with a star on the bonnet are already a few years past. In fact, demand for B- and E-Class taxis has plummeted by around 75 percent. This has now prompted Mercedes-Benz to make an unusual and momentous decision: The upcoming new E-Class as well as the upcoming B-Class facelift are no longer available in taxi equipment. Even the current generation of the E-Class will no longer have this package. Taxi companies that still want to have a new Mercedes-Benz in their fleet will have to switch to the V-Class, Vito or the soon-to-be-launched T-Class.<\/p>\n\n\n
