Agreement signed for Mitsubishi EV trials here

Mitsubishi Motors is to supply a number of its i-MiEV electric city cars to the ESB as part of a research programme to establish the usage patterns likely in Irish buyers of electric vehicles.

The agreement was signed today in Trinity College Dublin, which will evaluate the actual results of the research.

The cars will be provided to both residential and corporate fleet customers as part of the trial. There are 15 vehicles involved in the trial, which will be delivered to their first 'owners' from later today.
