Electric Fuel recently entered the US market for electric fleet vehicles with
demonstration drives in New York City and Washington, D.C.
One of the Deutsche Post Mercedes-Benz MB410 electric vans being used in the German Post field test was converted into a mini-bus for demonstration purposes and shipped to the United States.
The van was driven on the busy streets of Manhattan to shuttle Electric Fuel executives and potential strategic partners between meetings.
About 100 people attended the Zinc-Air Power Breakfast on Tuesday,
September 23, 1997 at Tavern on the Green, New York City's famous restaurant overlooking Central Park. The breakfast was jointly hosted by Electric Fuel and the New York Power Authority marking the first time the Electric Fuel zinc-air battery technology has been demonstrated in the United States.
Guests included senior New York City government officials, New York fleet operators and members of the financial community.
