A London Classic Rolls Into Barcelona
Hey Drivers!
[p]We’re excited to officially reveal the first licensed vehicle coming to Taxi Life and it’s one many of you will instantly recognize… Meet the LEVC, the iconic London electric taxi, now making its debut on the streets of Barcelona![/p][p][/p][carousel][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42073432/24adac4352534eb202ac32a2a9417e8aa3e95120.jpg"][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42073432/d45b9b26d554a19ff213702d6979846d159a55c9.jpg"][TAG-10][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42073432/f8a014e279f8fca400f37d8159ae0663e3e650b5.jpg"][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42073432/f0052742c8f30517da29fb4220d2d662452920e4.jpg"][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42073432/94e9cd8a377366a8be1bbd24b5b37ac006ae49b5.png"][/carousel][p][/p]
What Makes the LEVC Special?
[p][/p][p]Right-Hand Drive [/p][p]For the first time in Taxi Life, you’ll be driving from the right side of the cab. UK drivers, this one’s for you.[/p][p]Electric Power [/p][p]Another electric vehicle joins the Taxi Life fleet. Don't forget to charge before your shift![/p][p]No Passenger Seat (More Room for Luggage!)[/p][p]Unlike most vehicles, the LEVC replaces the traditional front passenger seat with extra luggage space, making it the perfect workhorse for taxi drivers. Why stash bags in the trunk when you can load them conveniently right beside you?[/p][p]Built in the UK, Seen Around the World [/p][p]Manufactured in England and traditionally found cruising through the streets of London, the LEVC is now showing up in cities like Barcelona and now it’s your turn to drive it.[/p][p][/p]
Why It Matters
[p]The LEVC marks a major milestone: it’s the first officially licensed vehicle added to Taxi Life. We can’t wait for you to get behind the wheel of this modern classic and experience a new level of real-world immersion in the game.[/p][p][/p]
Available DLC on September 18th
[p]You’ll be able to purchase the LEVC vehicle as part of the upcoming DLC, launching alongside our next free update on September 18th across all platforms! And yes… we’ll be showing it off during our next livestream! Make sure you’re following us on socials so you don’t miss it![/p][p] Hasta la próxima,[/p][p]Mike [/p][p]Simteract Community Manager[/p]
We’re back with a sneak peek at what’s coming in the next update for Taxi Life that's launching on September 18![/p][p][/p][p]This one includes a feature that we know has been requested by the community for some time and we can’t wait for you to check it out. Lets dive in![/p][p][/p]
Pick Up Passengers Directly From the Street
[p]In previous versions of the game, mission triggers only appeared once you selected a task from the map. That’s changing.[/p][p][/p][p]With the upcoming update, mission triggers will now appear seamlessly as you drive through the city, without needing to pre-select anything from the menu. That means you can jump into action the moment you spot a trigger in the world, keeping a more fluid and natural gameplay experience.[/p][p][/p]
Country Flags
[p]You’ll be able to decorate your taxi with country flags, letting you represent your nation (or your favorite one!) while cruising through Barcelona.All these cosmetics are completely free![/p][p][/p]
But that's not all…
[p]We're also addressing community-reported bugs and working on something very exciting: a licensed vehicle making its debut in Taxi Life. This is a big milestone for the game, as it's the first time an officially licensed car will be featured in the lineup. We’ll talk more about it in the coming days. [/p][p] Of course, we’ll be doing some livestreams on our social media channels, so make sure to follow us everywhere. [/p][p]See you on September 18th!

Taxi Life Turns 1 today To celebrate we’re giving back with an EPIC giveaway!
3 winners will receive:
✅ Revolution X Pro Controller + Taxi Life + All DLC ✅ RIG 800 Pro Headset + Taxi Life + All DLC ✅ GM-500ES Mouse + MM-400 Mouse Mat + Taxi Life + All DLC
In today's update, you’ll be able to explore the streets of Barcelona with the Delivery Driver DLC. This includes a new way to make money in Taxi Life along with normal jobs, company management and now package delivery. We talked a bit in our previous blog and did a deep dive on some of the main features of this update so, if you missed that check it out!
New Vehicle: The Victoris
The Delivery Driver DLC includes a new vehicle called the Victoris. It’s a powerful pickup ready to tackle package deliveries with ease. No worries, you’ll still be able to pick up regular passengers also.
(funfact: the Victoris was named after our 3D Artist,”Victor” - Shoutouts to Victor!)
New Game Mode: Delivery Driver
In this new game mode, you'll be able to pull up to any one of the new warehouse icons on the map. From there, you’ll be faced with a UI showcasing the deliveries. You’ll be able to pick and choose which deliveries to take based on the size of your vehicle. So for example, the Victoris will be able to hold 8 packages as compared to smaller vehicles which will hold less. We talked a lot about this and even answered some questions about it during our last livestream, so feel free to check it out!
Now it’s time to get to the nitty gritty. We have a good amount of actual patch notes to get through. So lets go ahead and take a look at some of the bug fixes and changes we made:
AI & World Adjustments
Pedestrian spawn rate slider added—so you can finally decide how many jaywalkers you want to deal with.
Parallax vehicles now properly break and get dirty instead of remaining pristine after collisions
Fixed an issue where passengers would appear below Parallax cars instead of inside them (we promise, no ghost passengers!)
Various small spoiler adjustments on certain vehicles
Stability & Bug Fixes
Fixed a crash when resetting perks
Addressed a bug where dialogues could stop working after canceling a Challenge
Mouse steering no longer interferes with the lean keybind
Fixed a bug where the game could freeze after multiple save reloads
Fixed issues with engine behavior in simulation + clutch mode
Other Additions
Added version number to the main menu widget
Various AI pedestrian logic tweaks (yes, fewer suicidal pedestrians)
Optimized backend FMOD updates for better audio performance
Fixes to in-cabin interactive panels for multiple languages
Fixes to clock display
Fixes to impact detection for AI vehicles
Fixes to experience bar calculations
