5334 Liberty Electric Cars (LEC) has been chosen as one of the major partners of the Europe-based Delivery project, aiming to produce a pure ultra-efficient electric commercial vehicle.

Chosen due to the firm’s extensive experience in electric commercial vehicle engineering and design, LEC’s team of experts played a crucial role in the development of the Modec truck, a range of 5.5tonne commercial vehicles that have been sold to a wide variety of customers across Europe. Operators of the truck include global companies like 4127 FedEx, 5337 UPS, 5336 Tesco’s and 5335 Veolia. The innovative team of LEC engineers have created EVs that have driven over 2,500,000miles.

The main objective of Deliver is to produce a pure electric commercial vehicle that is 40% more efficient than any ICE-powered commercial vehicle on the road today, with a gross weight between 2.2 and 2.5tonnes and a payload of 700kg.

The Deliver project is co-funded by the European Community’s 7th Framework programme for Research and Technological Development which is the EU’s main instrument for funding research in Europe.
