Electric Delivery Truck
(20 Minuten, July 10, 2013)
The Swiss company E-Force One is creating an 18-ton all-electric delivery truck that will go into initial use this fall. The company based its technology on previous all-electric vehicles it developed. The two initial customers are Coop, a large national grocery store and retailer, and Feldschlösschen, a Swiss beer brewer. Both will use the trucks for local deliveries. Coop has made the commitment to become CO2-neutral in the next ten years, and Feldschlösschen has a similar commitment. Initial trials will be small, but fleets may expand to hundreds of trucks.
