The Vito uses less diesel, because it weighs less. If you ever choose to
take part in a head-on collision experiment between a Vito and a TX4,
choose to drive the TX4.

Thanks for the tip.

Where and when is this experiment going to take place?

I'd ignore his tip. Weight means nothing if the body crumples like a
squashed egg or worse does crumple at all and the driver absorbs the entire
impact through his skull and chest. Mercedes like most other big manufacturers
have spent billions on researching crumple zones and other forms of crash
protection. Does anything honestly think that LTI with its antique taxis
design thats barely changed in 2 decades is going to better that? I think not.

The TX series is a *replacement* for the Fairway.

The cab he would really like to drive is the Fiat EuroCab, which is
also available here as a Peugeot (same design, different badge).
Sadly, while it is an excellent design that is approved for taxi use
across most of Europe, it doesn't comply with the requirements of the
Public Carriage Office. :-(

I've been in the Peugeot thingy, and didn't like it. Eeuuww sliding
doors.
