Everyone is right to be concerned about the environment, but the reality is that you still have a business to run and customers to supply.

The Modec range is possibly the greatest leap forward in commercial vehicles since the internal combustion engine. Quiet, pollution free and with a carrying capacity to put most others in the shade, the Modec range is the future of urban delivery.

Developing an impressive 102bhp and 300Nm of torque, Modec vans can carry two tonnes up to one hundred miles at fifty miles an hour with zero emissions... all from a single charge.

Modec is a sound business choice with zero congestion charges, zero road tax and zero operator licence requirements. All those zeros add up to big savings over the life of the vehicle - with close to zero effect on our environment.

The Modec van produces no carbon dioxide or other pollutants and is powered using modern battery technology. On a single charge it can cover over 100 miles and reach a top speed of 50 mph carrying a load of up to two tonnes. It is the first zero emission van that is comparable in economy and performance to diesel equivalents making it a real and viable urban delivery vehicle.

The van has been designed with large fleets in mind and talks are currently underway with a number of organisations including Ocado. It is also easy to operate and maintain with only three moving parts in the electric motor instead of the usual 300 in the average diesel van engine.

The battery can be recharged at the fleet depots and allow for efficient and effective city delivery without the noise, smell or pollution traditionally associated with transit vans. The Modec van also facilitates the move towards reducing CO2 emissions, by enabling operators to source their energy (electricity) from renewable sources.
