France's postal service, La Poste, is planning to order 10,000 electric delivery vehicles which, it says, will save the organisation significant running costs. The order is thought to be the world's biggest ever for electric vehicles.
According to a report on the BBC website, the state-run La Poste wants to cut its annual fuel bill - currently around £48m - and says that an electric vehicles is six times cheaper to run than a similar diesel vehicle. It says that each vehicle will cut emissions of CO2 by around four tonnes per vehicle per year. La Poste has been testing eight electric vehicles, made by SVE, since 2005 and will be inviting tenders from European manufacturers for the first batch of 500.
