Operators of the Modec truck include global companies like 756 FedEx, 1966 UPS, 5323 Tesco and 5324 Veolia. Their unique team of engineers have created EVs that have driven over 2,500,000 miles.

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

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.
