You asked
Hello
Could you please provide, if possible, a breakdown of the current London licensed taxi (Hackney Carriage, not PHV) fleet by vehicle make/model - for example, the number of TX2, TX4, Vito etc vehicles currently licensed.
A similar request was made and answered in 2012 but obviously that information will be significantly out of date.
Thank you very much.
