Big news for the Big Apple as New York City has unveiled the next generation of city taxis. The Nissan NV200 was introduced to the public yesterday at the New York Auto Show and it’s packing some cool new features.
The NV200 will come with USB and 12V power ports for charging your gear, a rider controlled GPS system and the ability for the rider to control the heat and AC. Some of the lower-tech features include simple but highly functional details like more leg room, a flat floor so you can easily slide across the seat, doors that slide open, lights on the floor and ceiling and a glass sunroof. Everyone seems excited about the anti-microbial odor-absorbing seats that will supposedly keep the car smelling fresh but I’ll believe that when I smell it.
With all these new and improved features it seems odd that the cabs will run on old-fashioned gas engines rather than hybrid or electric ones but there is talk of an electric version arriving in 2017.
The new taxis should be showing up on streets in late 2013. For more information and specs, visit Nissan’s official site by clicking here.
Word on the Street, a great blog about Hudson, NY, is reporting on the proposed plans to turn the lot at 347 Warren Street into an outdoor food court with multiple food trucks and a beer garden. Apparently, the project architect and owner of 3FortySeven (347 Warren Street) shop, Michael Davis, has already presented his plan to the Hudson Planning Commission for approval. The commission asked for more detailed renderings and will meet again to review those renderings at City Hall on April 11 at 7 p.m.
Here is one of the renderings already presented
I’ve eaten at the Tortillaville Truck, which was in the lot last year, and thoroughly enjoyed the food and outdoor eating experience. I really hope the above plan is passed in time for the upcoming season. The Hudson Planning Commission would be fools not to pass this plan.
