Modec electric van in use with AMEY construction, Birmingham
Several major UK companies are trialling electric vans, often launched in a minor blaze of publicity in the trade press, presumably to demonstrate that they are taking steps to reduce their carbon emissions.
How effective these new generation 'milk floats' are I have no idea, but it's a step in the right direction if we are seriously intent on reducing our dependance of fossil fuels. To my mind, small electric vehicles of this type should have been developed and perfected many years ago, but for the interference of the oil producers and the combustion-engine obsessed motor industry.
As our known technology stands, these types of battery-electric vehicles are surely ideal for local deliveries and pick ups in our crowded towns and cities.
