[6] In January 2020, LEVC announced plans to market the TX in Japan[10] with Fleetway and Service Company as the Japanese distributor.

[13] The vehicle's styling is an evolution of the now iconic shape begun with the original Austin FX4 of 1958, and the later TX1/TXII/TX4 series, although the distinctive rear hinged "suicide doors" last seen on the FX4 have returned.

The LEVC TX is fitted with a 33 kilowatt-hours (120 MJ) battery pack supplied by LG Chem, and powers a 110-kilowatt (148 hp; 150 PS) Siemens-built electric motor for traction.

The TX took advantage of 2018 Transport for London rules that allowed only zero-emission capable vehicles to become additions to the city's taxi fleet.

[22] Outside London, the TX5 also serves as a taxi in Austria,[23] Australia,[24] Azerbaijan,[25] China,[24] Denmark,[11] France,[11] Germany,[26] India,[27] Israel,[28][29] Japan,[30] Poland,[31] Spain[32] and Switzerland.
