The Hanover Trade Show in Germany this week will mark the presence of a green taxi vehicle concept. Volkswagen is delighted to unveil the eco-friendly concept that has been specially designed keeping in mind the city of Milan, Italy. Dubbed the “Milano”, is a compact battery-powered taxi concept that is based on Volkswagen's "New Small Family" of low- and zero-emissions vehicles.

Powered by lithium ion batteries, the Milano will reach up to an estimated 186 mile driving range. In order to provide easy and safe way to move in and out of the car, a single sliding rear door has been inserted on the passenger side that slides completely. There is also provision for a touch screen interface that helps passengers keep a track on news and route information. The front passenger seat was quite intentionally left out to make space for baggage and suitcases.
