Royal Mail Is Testing Arrival Electric Trucks, And Also Orders 100 Peugeot Partner EVs

• http://insideevs.com, by Mark Kane

The British company Arrival is supplying Royal Mail with nineelectric delivery vehicles, in three sizes, for advanced tests.

The standard truck comes with 100 miles of range (shown above), while there is also a new concept model in development (2nd photo) – so it exists mostly as a digital showing, at least for now.

These trial vehicles will deliver the mail from the central London dispatch location.

Arrival is a local EV-builder based out of Oxfordshire, which also just opened a new factory in Banbury.

The second project with Peugeot is more commercial bound for today, as Royal Mail simply straight ordered 100 Partner L2 Electric vans to go into active duty.

The Peugeot Partner EVs should enter service in December.
