Smith Electric Vehicles will deliver 100 of its Newton and Edison vehicles, in its largest fleet order to date in this country. They are capable of 80 km/h and a range on one battery charge of up to 240 km. They are designed for intra-city applications, such as retail and distribution, post and parcel delivery, logistics and utilities work.
The Irish order, destined for private and public sector fleet operators, will be sold and supported through a new independent distributor, Smith Electric Vehicles Ireland.
The Edison is based on the Ford Transit body shell - but is one hundred per cent battery powered and is the only high performance electric vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of under 3,500kg.
The Newton is based on the Avia truck chassis, weighing in with a GVW of between 7,500kg and 12,000kg. BB
