ELECTRIC TRUCKS * USA - Provo testing out chinese electric trucks
Provo's mayor is electrified
Provo,UT,USA -The Associated Press/The Salt Lake Tribune -26 Jan 2009: -- Mayor Lewis Billings is temporarily exchanging a regular car for an electric one. The city has two new Miles ZX40ST electric trucks, which arrived two weeks ago and are now licensed to be on the street... Billings, who is test-driving the vehicle, says the cars are part of an effort to find ways to reduce costs, pollution and dependence on foreign oil... Billings says engineers will review the performance of the electric trucks after six months to see whether it's worth getting more of them... The trucks reach a maximum speed of 25 mph and have a range of about 40 miles. Deputy Public Works Director Scott Peppler says they cost about $20,000 each... The trucks are built by the Tianjin-Qingyuan Electric Vehicle Co. of Tianjin, China... (Photo: cars in the China's factory) Labels: electric trucks
