Which automatic gearboxes are used by Addison Lee Ford Galaxies?
I have had occasion to use Addison Lee mini cabs recently. They run a fleet of Ford Galaxys and the drivetrain seems to be particularly smooth. Do you know which particular drive train they use?

Most have Ford/PSA 2.0 diesel engines with 6-speed Aisin Warner torque converter autoboxes. But their new Galaxys run the same engines with Ford/Getrag Powershift twin clutch autoboxes, like VAG DSGs, but better. Old ones are coming off the fleet in June and will be for sale.
