Smith Electric Vehicles not only launched an electric truck at the show, but announced plans to build up to 10,000 zero-emissions commercial vehicles in the US by 2010.
The first model to be offered to American fleets is the Avia-based Newton, above, which is available from 7.5 to 12 tonnes. It has a top speed of 50mph and a range of 150 miles. The 3.5-tonne Edison will follow shortly after, but whether or not it will be based on the Ford Transit, as it is in Europe, is still unclear.
Judging by the positive comments we heard from visitors to Smith's stand, there will be plenty of demand for both models.
