mike962 ◊ 2023-11-17 17:34	here on the official site they mention NAVISTAR as producer Link to "newsroom.fedex.com" Quote Two of the new all-electric trucks come from Navistar, and are being assembled in Indiana. These are based on the Modec design already operated by FedEx in Europe. Ten such Modec vehicles serve FedEx routes in London and five more are on order for Paris. Another pair of electric vehicles is being purchased from a different manufacturer for delivery to the Los Angeles area later in 2010. Both sets of electric vehicles are designed with a range that allows many FedEx Express couriers to make a full eight-hour shift of deliveries before their vehicles need recharging. A FedEx-branded prototype all-electric truck from Navistar is being unveiled today at an event in Chicago to kick-off a demonstration tour of the technology.The vehicle will be operated for FedEx customers, employees, and local officials in several stops along historic Route 66 between Chicago and Los Angeles. -- Last edit: 2023-11-17 17:35:41
mike962 ◊ 2023-11-17 17:37	another article Quote The truck's original concept and design was championed by Modec, a U.K. outfit specializing in zero-emissions commercial vehicles. While Modec built 10 pilot vehicles for FedEx Express use in London last year, Navistar has supplied the first few models on this side of the pond. The first formal U.S. test bed is Los Angeles, where we were recently on hand to scope out FedEx's project. Link to "www.motortrend.com"
