Etioca Taxi Miner, this is how the taxi of the future could be

Etioca Taxi Miner is an electric vehicle designed not for private mobility but to offer transport services within cities. Easy to access, without architectural barriers, this particular car has 7 modular seats, plus one for disabled passengers who can board without assistance, by means of an automatic lifting platform.

This vehicle, which can be seen as an example of a taxi of the future, was presented as a prototype by Etioca, a company founded by Israeli entrepreneur Mark Ishakov based in Gibraltar.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Taxi Miner is 4.9 meters long and was designed thanks to a collaboration with Giugiaro. The car rests on the “Anna” platform which is based on a modular electrical architecture that allows for different configurations.

The company explains that this vehicle is aimed at a new generation of taxi drivers who no longer have to buy the car but get it in use from Etioca. In this way, drivers can have access to the vehicle and all services (including insurance) at an estimated cost of 0.99 euros per km.

This particular electric taxi also allows the transport of oversized leisure items such as bicycles, skis and snowboards. Many other features are available on board, such as digital screens for managing services, a payment terminal, a taxi shop, a minibar, chargers for all types of smartphones and an online route map.

The company explains that the driver’s seat is isolated, fully equipped and guarantees safety and security. Taxi Miner also supports battery swap in order to continue to operate without long interruptions. Obviously, the batteries can also be recharged through the normal columns.

Given the past health regulations during the pandemic, each vehicle will be automatically sanitized when all passengers have left the cabin, through a mixed system of ultraviolet light and disinfectant nebulizer. Passengers, to access the transport service, must use a dedicated application.

Through the app, users will be able to book their trip. This application will also be used for taxi drivers to supervise the work and the entrances of the rides, on-board services and advertising panels placed on the taxi. Passengers will also be able to pay for rides with a cryptocurrency.

PREORDERS AND THE FUTURE
According to the company, in 2024 Taxi Miner will already be on the road. There should already be around 10 thousand in circulation. Annual production in 2025 will be 45,000 units and will reach 100,000 units per year in 2027 with an initial investment of $ 400 million to reach $ 1.2 billion over the next 3 years.

Apparently there are already 90,000 pre-orders under discussion in Italy, Israel and Latvia. The pre-order form is available on the Etioca website. Interested taxi drivers can register with a simple transaction of 100 euros. This amount allows you to manage the feasibility of the order and will be returned to future drivers on the Etioca debit card, on the same day of delivery of the vehicle starting from 2024.
