Background to Electric MAXUS project
January / February 2009
LDV finalise strategic partners for the Electric MAXUS launch
Following the successful testing of the Electric MAXUS van (EVV1) and chassis cab (ECV1) with major fleets, LDV spent January and February finalising a small number of key partners to support the launch of these exciting new vehicles in the second half of 2009.
Built in Birmingham, the Electric MAXUS vehicles will offer UK businesses, councils and local authorities the opportunity to locally source a zero emission light commercial vehicle to minimise their carbon footprint.
The launch offers the strategic partners the chance to be the first customers to realise the benefits of operating the electric vehicles, participate in the development of future models and share in the launch publicity of these revolutionary vehicles.
