Modec is the UK-based manufacturer of
an innovative zero emission electric commercial vehicle. Capable of a
100 mile range at highway speeds with a payload of up to 2 tonnes, the
vehicle is now being adopted by some of the UK’s largest fleets. Modec
will make its official American debut at the 23rd Electrical Vehicle
Symposium in California, December 2nd – 5th 2007.
EVS 23 is the world’s leading event for
Electric Vehicle Industry and brings together researchers, manufactures,
and customers. This year’s event will mark Modec’s first official
appearance at the show.
Modec gave a sneak preview of the
vehicle at two earlier US events; Seattle’s Clean Vehicles Now, and
Calsart’s Hybrid Truck Users Forum. Modec drew rave reviews at both
events, and customers have already asked to be placed on the waiting
list.
Modec’s participation in EVS 23 will be
extensive:
- Displaying a chassis cab at booth
521
- Offering the chance to drive a Box
Van configuration in the EVS Ride & Drive event
- One of only nine exhibitors
elected to present at the official Media Event (Sunday, December 2 -
11:30-11:50 am)
- Modec owner Jamie Borwick has been
invited to deliver the keynote address on the state of EV
development in Europe
- Modec senior staff Trevor Power
and William Doelle will be delivering a presentation and sitting as
panellists on a discussion of the value to manufacturing a purpose
built EV
William Doelle, Director of Business
Development explains Modec’s participation in the Ride & Drive, the
Exhibition and the Symposium; “Having successfully launched our
ground-breaking vehicle into the UK market with lead customers such as
Tesco, we are now engaged in a research and development programme to
ensure that we fully understand the requirements of US customers. We
have been delighted with the number and quality of potential partners
who wish to work with us in bringing our distinctive vehicle to North
America”.
Modec will be bringing several key
senior staff to EVS 23 to allow onsite responses to questions from major
fleets regarding the suitability of the Modec for specific applications.
