"This is about the car used as a taxi in London. For the camera see Canon PowerShot TX-1. For the video game, see TX-1 (arcade game)."

TX1 is a Hackney carriage (London hail taxi) introduced by London Taxis International in 1997 and designed to replace the aging Austin FX4. Most are powered by a diesel engine from Nissan. In 2002 it was replaced by the TXII, which used the Ford Duratorq engine as found in the Ford Transit, Mondeo, and Land Rover Defender.

Unlike modernistic van-shaped experimental cabs, the body was designed to recall several distinctive styling cues of the FX4. Upon completion, it was submitted to cabbies for their approval and won their acceptance as sufficiently maintaining the spirit of the London cab.

The improved interior has allowed certain after-market additions to be made to vehicles such as the Cabvision technology.
