First electric Smart delivered

Date: 02 January 2008

Coventry City Council has taken delivery of a new fully electric smart car.

The delivery is part of a UK based trial for the introduction of a fully electric smart and is the first of 100 to be provided by smart.

The car, which is 100% electric, yet retains all the safety equipment found on a regular Smart Fortwo such as ABS brakes, ESP and airbags.

The council will be using the car as part of their fleet of pool vehicles.
