PRESS RELEASE
The e-Tuk Vendo has an autonomy of
70 kilometers and can be charged during stopovers. The vehicle’s
battery is large enough to keep the refrigerator cool while driving.
Connecting the e-Tuk Vendo to the mains during a stopover powers the
refrigerator as well as the other systems on board – water pumps etc.
The Vendo’s right side offers 3 cubic meters of selling space, the rear
side offers space for storage. Folding away the side panel creates a
canopy, and a working table can be extended from the vehicle.
Tuk Tuk Factory already produced a
fully electric e-Tuk Classico (seating 3 persons in the back) and an
electric e-Tuk Limo (seating 6 persons in the back). “Making a move
towards the e-Tuk Vendo and later Cargo is a small and logic step,”
according to Roland Vos, director Tuk Tuk Factory. The incentive to
start making these vehicles resulted from the numerous requests we
received for vending vans with a fun factor. “We can see a substantial
market emerging in the area of distribution and sales of biologic and
sustainable foods. The go-local trend drives and accelerates this
emerging market need. These initiatives find it important that their
distribution and sales van is clean & green, it’s often a side
condition in their marketing concept.”
Alexander Mascini, head of sales
of Tuk Tuk Factory, says he receives “requests from every country on the
globe for electric vending vans, even before the vehicle was launched
or developed. The e-Tuk Vendo really gets noticed in the city.” Astrid
van Vugt, founder of Toeti Froeti, says: “People react instantaneously
and very positively, everybody turns their head, looks and smiles.”
Tuk Tuk Factory has a European
type approval for these vehicles and several distributors in Europe. Tuk
Tuk Factory expects to sell small quantities initially and to steadily
grow the business to a few hundred units per year. De basic version of
the e-Tuk Vendo is for sale from 24.000 euro, and the lead time is 3 to 4
months.
