The Detroit Taxicab was an electric vehicle and was designed and built by the Detroit Taxicab & Transfer Company, because they could not find a local manufacturer for the cabs they needed.
The first Detroit Taxicab began service in June 1914 and, after proving itself in operation, a further 11 taxicabs were built and put in service by early 1915. By the end of 1915 a total of 47 Detroit Taxicabs had been produced. This represented the full fleet of taxicabs required by the company.
