The German Post Field Test
In May 1998 the Deutsche Post AG, the German Postal Authority, successfully concluded its 2-year field test of postal fleet vehicles powered by the Electric Fuel zinc-air battery in Germany. During the field test postal vans powered by the Electric Fuel zinc-air battery system drove around the city of Bremen, Germany in postal service routes traveling a total of more that 40,000 miles (60,000 km) in all weather conditions. The vehicles were serviced at an Electric Fuel zinc-air 100 kg/hr regeneration plant built specifically for the field test.Receiving thumbs up from the German Postal Authority for its electric vehicle technology, Electric Fuel is now working to establish a consortium of European industrial companies to manufacture and distribute electric vehicles equipped with the Electric Fuel zinc-air battery and to build the related infrastructure in Europe.
