JPN Taxi

On the heels of its storied history as a symbolic taxi in Japan, a brand new taxi will appear on the road of the next era. Its name is JPN Taxi (Japan Taxi).

With its exterior body dressed in the symbolic, traditional Japanese color koiai―a color known outside of Japan as Japanese indigo, which has long decorated the lives of the Japanese people―the JPN Taxi is designed to complement both cityscapes and historical landscapes. With detailed functions adapted with thoughtful and attentive consideration, alongside outstanding eco-functions expected from a model that represents the future, the JPN Taxi will vividly "repaint" Japanese scenic imagery familiar to people the world over.
