Modec, a Coventry based van company announced yesterday that they had sealed a £3m van contract with a French distributor. This news was released after Modec announced that their electric urban delivery van is the first to gain the EC Whole Vehicle Type Approval. What this means is that the van can be sold anywhere within the European Union without having to go through further testing.

Tesco’s, UPS, FedEx and Center Parcs are just a few of Modec’s UK clients. They can now add yet another client to their list, ElecTruckCity who ordered £3m worth of vans.

ElecTruckCity will now be the first French van distributor to stock Modec vans. Chief executive of Modec, Bill Gillespie, said this about the announced deal: “International demand for Modec is extremely strong. ElecTruckCity has taken the first step by setting up a distribution network in France and we are very excited about the future of the French market.”

The vans that were bought by ElecTruckCity were the popular urban delivery vans. There are currently over 150 of Modec’s vehicles around the streets of our cities, owned by clients such as UPS. These Modec delivery vans are becoming ever more popular because they have been design for the city. The Modec van can travel 100 miles on the lithium battery at only 15p per mile, whereas a petrol powered van would cost around 37p per mile.

The vans help companies like UPS reduce their emmissions and improve their corporate image by saving more than 9 tonnes of CO2 each year.

As these Modec vans become ever more popular, it appears that the common vans that you see around like Citroen vans or Nissan vans will have alot of competition as more and more companies want to get greener.

Modec are also entering into the tipper van market with their new electric tipper van. This new vehicle has been designed for councils refuce collection. These are most likely going to become popular as we see an increase in councils becoming greener.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if we started to see an increase in van leasing companies that are investing in Modec vans as alot of companies that are currently leasing their vans may be interested in a cheaper, more greener alternative.
