Metrocab was a British brand of taxicabs, started by Metro Cammell Weymann in 1987 and from 2001 owned by Kamkorp.

[1] The MCW Metrocab existed in two main variants, the original with a direct-injection diesel engine from the Ford Transit and, from 2000, the Metrocab TTT powered by a Toyota turbodiesel.

[citation needed] Current owner Kamkorp purchased rights from Hooper’s administrator Leonard Curtis[3] in June 2001 and restarted production under a new holding company Metrocab (UK).

[6] In 2014 a completely new Metrocab was presented to the press, electrically powered with a 1.0-litre range-extender petrol engine.

[7] It is a hybrid petrol-electric vehicle capable of zero emission operation and designed to comply with London Taxi Private Hire (LTPH) regulations.
