Last month, the West Midlands police department in the UK took delivery of an i-MiEV for official duties. This weekend, the first batch of cars - 25 Mitsubishi i-MiEVs - in a large fleet of electric vehicles entered the area, giving the public a taste of what the police have been enjoying for a while now. The trial fleet includes 110 electric, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen vehicles in Birmingham and Coventry, with 340 throughout the UK. The UK's Technology Strategy Board is funding the program with £25 million in it's Ultra Low Emission Vehicle Demonstrator Competition. The vehicle breakdown goes like this:
- 40 Smart Eds
- 25 i-MiEVs
- 25 Tata Indica
- 10 hydrogen cars from Microcab
- 5 Land Rover Range_e plug in hybrids
- 5 LTI electric taxis
UPDATE: Added three pictures from the EVCast's Nikki to the gallery.
