Those companies can be found in places like EVtransPortal.com though because it's free to everyone. That’s right Falcon, many companies weren’t at EVS23

This looks like a company who have brushed aside the excuses routinely offered as to why we can't have EVs yet, and are just getting on and doing it. They've focussed on a market where the usual excuses are irrelevant. What's more, their trucks are being bought by hardheaded fleet owners for whom running costs are every bit as important as green imagery. The fact that two UK companies (Modec.co.uk being the other) have independently developed different battery trucks, and both found a ready market, suggests that the concept is viable and practicable. It also means they are building a customer base from which to expand into the wider market as battery development progresses. Shrewd stuff! I totally agree, Nick.

Range isn't really an issue as long as it's for local fleets. Very cool stuff.
