MODEC, THE environmentally friendly van manufacturer, has just completed a deal to take over a 4,900m2 factory in Coventry. From here it will roll out its electrically powered, emission-free urban delivery vans.
The company, which was set up only this year by Jamie Bor wick and Jevon Thorpe, manufactures vans that are exempt from road tax, congestion charges and operator licence requirements.
The owners say the Modec vehicles have been designed with large urban delivery fleets in mind.
The Coventry plant is due to make up to 5,000 vans per year; production will start in early 2007.
