The July 2025 edition of TaxiPoint is now out, marking the 75th issue of the magazine. As ever, the latest release provides a wide-ranging update on the key stories affecting the UK taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) sector.
A central focus this month is the Government’s green light for autonomous vehicle trials. Uber and Wayve are set to launch self-driving taxi services in London, sparking fresh debate over the long-term role of human drivers, licensing gaps, and public trust in AI-driven transport.
Other key topics include the ongoing push to close the cross-border licensing loophole, the introduction of inclusive transport measures by Bolt, and calls from the taxi trade for a national minimum fare. Industry insights range from a closer look at the drop in driver numbers in Wiltshire to the launch of a new Heathrow taxi rank management app.
The edition also highlights TaxiPoint’s launch of a new premium news service, with a free trial running until April 2026. The move aims to maintain the sustainability of the publication in a complex and changing digital environment.
There’s also coverage of major enforcement operations across Liverpool, Glastonbury and Newcastle-under-Lyme, showing councils’ growing focus on compliance and safety. Meanwhile, in the business section, LEVC’s TX electric taxi is highlighted as a major contributor to UK export success.
To close, the magazine includes a mix of regional updates, new technology trials and policy discussions, continuing its role as a central hub for those working across the sector.
