120 Years of G7 Taxis History in Video

Since 1905, G7 has been a key player in Parisian mobility with its taxis. An anniversary worth a short film.

Since their appearance on the streets of Paris in the early 20th century, taxis have always played a central role in Parisians’ lives. In 1905, the first motorized taxis, equipped with mechanical meters – the famous “taximeters” – began to roam the capital, gradually replacing horse-drawn carriages. These new means of transportation offered faster and more comfortable mobility, quickly becoming essential in residents’ daily lives.

In this historical context, G7 was founded in 1905, with the ambition to redefine the Parisian taxi experience. For over 120 years, the brand has adapted and evolved to meet the needs of its customers while maintaining an unchanged promise: to provide a high-quality and excellent service. Today, G7 is an integral part of the Parisian landscape and stands out as a key player in urban mobility.

From the first taxis of the Belle Époque to technological modernization in the 2000s, including recent ecological advances with the introduction of a fleet of electric vehicles, G7 has spanned eras with a clear goal: to improve the daily lives of its users. This journey demonstrates the company’s ability to innovate while staying true to its founding values.

In 2025, as G7 celebrates a significant anniversary, this milestone is more than just a simple commemoration. It is an opportunity to highlight a shared history between G7 and its customers, marked by moments shared during a taxi ride.

To honor this heritage, G7 invites the public to discover a unique film tracing 120 years of Parisian mobility. Designed as a journey through time, this film offers a look in the rearview mirror of a G7 taxi and revisits the great moments that have shaped the history of transportation in the capital.
