Turkish Company Wants to Build Future NYC Taxis in Brooklyn

Gothamist

Wheelchair accessible interior of the Karsan Taxi of Tomorrow.

The Taxi Of Tomorrow might be built in Brooklyn! Karsan, the Turkish manufacturer in the running to build New York’s next generation of taxicabs, is now upping the ante (and changed its tune) by pledging to manufacture the wheelchair-accessible vehicles in the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal. The new pledge makes the Karsan cab the only one of the three finalists which would be built in America (it had previously said it would build them in Turkey).
