Press Release: Azure Dynamics to Supply 1,000 Electric Vehicle Systems to Electro Autos of Mexico for Conversions (9 April 2007)
Azure Dynamics Corporation has signed a supply agreement with Electro Autos Eficaces of Mexico (EAE). The initial order is for 1,000 drive systems for integration into the Nissan Tsuru—a vehicle based on an earlier generation model of the Nissan Sentra—which is commonly used in the municipal fleet of Mexico City. The Tsurus are being converted from gasoline-powered vehicles to electric vehicles as part of Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard’s initiative to improve air quality and general health and quality of life in the city. With a population of approximately 25 million people, Mexico City is the third-largest city in the world and currently operates more than 25,000 Nissan Tsurus to conduct government business throughout the city.
[commentary: with 25k targets, it should be very practical to work out a standard conversion kit. I wonder if they are US street legal?]
