Here in the UK, it would be good to see the Royal Mail taking note of that La Poste decision.
Two British makers of electric vehicles have recently started winning fleet orders, after a year of trials. Smith ( http://www.smithelectricvehicles.com ) and Modec (http://www.modec.co.uk ) have now sold dozens of electric delivery vans to supermarkets and parcel delivery firms. Smith are expecting TNT Express to order several hundred more.
2007 really does look like a breakthrough year!
I think all the manufacturers companies will have a lot of work because of demand of France that want to seeking 10,000 electric vehicles. That is awesome!!!
