Smith Electric Vehicles delivers two new products at the CV Operator Show.
The all-electric minibus is now in production. Based on the Ford Transit chassis, the Smith Edison minibus has a top speed of 50mph and a range of up to 80 miles. A full recharge takes 6-8 hours, or 3-4 hours with Smith’s new fast charging technology.
The Edison minibus is targeted at applications such as airport passenger transfer, tourist attractions, city trips and closed campus travel on large commercial, military, education and industrial sites.
Smith Electric Vehicles is also showcasing the fully electric vehicle-mountedvan-mounted aerial work platform. Vehicle-mounted aerial lifts are widely used in the utility sector, to safely lift up workers for maintenance work at height.
Scottish & Southern Energy (SSE) has purchased the first vehicle, for trials in its service and maintenance fleet. SSE pioneered the use of new-technology electric commercial vehicles three years ago, when it took delivery of the first ever Smith Edison panel van.
