Xpeng X9 as a taxi: Adler expands retrofit program to include a premium electric van
The market for electric taxis is getting a boost: Adler Taxameter & Funktechnik GmbH from Langenpreising is expanding its retrofit program to include the Xpeng X9. The fully electric van offers seven seats, electric sliding doors and a configurable interior. In doing so, it targets taxi and rental-car companies that, in addition to their traditional business, also serve larger passenger groups, airport transfers, or hotel shuttles. Adler has already equipped a first vehicle for commercial use. It was produced on behalf of the Much car dealership in Bad Tölz and, according to the dealership, has already been sold to a taxi operator in Munich. At the European Taxi Trade Fair on 6 and 7 November 2026 in Cologne, the X9 will be on display at the Xpeng Germany stand.
From the electric SUV to the seven-seater
With the X9, Adler expands its offering for the Chinese EV brand. In addition to the XPENG G6, which had already been retrofitted earlier, the sedan P7+ and the SUV G9 are now part of the program. Taxi and rental-car operators can thus choose between four different vehicle concepts. The X9 occupies a special role within the model range. While SUVs and sedans primarily cover traditional passenger transport and comfort-oriented trips, the van offers additional capacity for groups and luggage. Electric sliding doors make entry easier, especially in tight spaces at hotels, train stations, or airport forecourts.
Retrofits as needed
Adler handles the technical adaptation of the vehicles for taxi and rental-car operations. The scope of services includes, depending on the configuration, the integration of taximeter or distance-traveled counter technology, a taxi emergency alarm system, and a roof sign. In addition, the company offers further special equipment up to turnkey delivery. If desired, the vehicle can, for example, be wrapped in light ivory. For taxi companies, the vehicle offering alone is not decisive, but also the possibility to obtain the required technology and equipment from a single source.
With the Xpeng X9, the retrofit specialist Adler expands its portfolio with an electric space vehicle for businesses that, in addition to the regular taxi business, also offer transfer and shuttle services. Like some other Mercedes- and taxi-specialists, the Much car dealership in Bad Tölz has also included Xpeng in its program and is driving the retrofit of the Chinese EVs into taxis.
