Beijing has become the first Chinese city to apply electric vehicles in the fields of logistics and distribution, according to a report from the Beijing Morning Post.
70 eclectic vehicles have been put on the road for logistics purposes in Beijing, including agro-produce distribution and express deliveries, in a pilot project launched by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce (BMCC) and Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission in late February of this year.
Serving in four fleets for four local logistics companies, the vehicles have specially built facilities for recharge. After being fully charged with 27 kilowatt hours of electricity in six hours, they can run up to 100 kilometers, at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
