The Modec Zero Emission Van. Carry two tonnes for up to 100 miles at 50 mph an hour. All from a single charge. We’ll believe it when we see it. [via Gizmag]
It is the first zero emission van that is comparable in economy and performance to diesel equivalents making it a real and viable urban delivery vehicle. The van has been designed with large fleets in mind and talks are currently underway with a number of organisations including Ocado. It is also easy to operate and maintain with only three moving parts in the electric motor instead of the usual 300 in the average diesel van engine.
I’m from the manufacturer and would comment…
If you follow this link to the British satellite News site, you can see a short video of the van in operation around London (plus some duller footage from a trade show) http://www.bsn.org.uk/view_all.php?id=11629 hopefully that will help you believe.
Make me a car please! :-)
