Historical Overview and Application

The Type AG is a French passenger car, first built by Unic in 1905. The model gained fame as the "London Taxi" because this variant was used en masse as a taxi in London. Before World War I, from about 1910 onward, the Type AG formed the backbone of public transportation in the British capital. These vehicles could be seen on the streets of London throughout the 1910s-1920s, up until the 1920s. Interestingly, during World War I, these vehicles were also used as improvised ambulances and for transporting soldiers to Verdun, making them one of the most recognizable cars of the era.
