Edison utilises Smith’s latest battery and
power train technology, housed in the instantly-recognisable Ford
Transit shell. Edison is capable of 50mph and a range of up to 150 miles
on one battery charge, while still providing up to 1,500kg of payload.
It is the only zero emission vehicle with a GVW of under 3.5t to offer
these performance capabilities.
Kevin Harkin, Sales Director for Smith Electric Vehicles, said: “The
Ford Transit shell provides us with a superb variety of products, from
chassis cab and panel van to minibus.
“Edison’s unique zero emission drive line technology finally provides
urban operators with a zero emission 3.5t commercial vehicle ideal for
city centre use – and one that does not look out of place in their
fleets.”
Powered by advanced sodium nickel chloride batteries, Edison emits none
of the diesel exhaust air pollutants which are harmful to humans,
including Particulate Matter and Nitrous Oxide. If charged with
electricity from a renewable energy supplier, it also provides a 100%
reduction in CO2 emissions.
Sainsbury’s has ordered an initial eight vehicles for use in its
Sainsbury’s Online home shopping delivery fleet. The retailer has also
pledged to replace 20% of its urban delivery fleet with electric
vehicles by September 2008 – and 100% of the fleet by 2010.
Other major companies who have already committed to orders of Edison
include Scottish & Southern Energy, one of the UK’s largest energy
suppliers; TNT Express and CEVA Logistics.
