Newteon and Mirco-Vett's electric Fiat Doblo headed to La Poste
Last week, the French postal service La Poste announced it's intent to buy a lot of electric vehicles for mail carriers to use. Newteon, the company that works with Micro-Vett and Fiat on vehicles like the all-electric Fiat Doblo and Fiorino, now says its vehicles have made La Poste's short list of potential additions to the fleet. A prototype Doblo EV will be delivered to La Poste this summer and then four or five more will be tested in the fall. Micro-Vett converts the Fiats and Newteon distributes the vehicles exclusively in France and other EU countries. Since La Poste is interested in at least 500 EVs, and potentially 10,000 in five years, getting on the short list could propel Mirco-Vett and Newteon into the big(ger) leagues. Thanks to Fabien for the tip.[Source: Newteon]

It's less worrying what the report says than knowing that there are actually people out there who wrote it.
That's what's really worrying...that there are bunch of lying scum who want to do nothing but lie and spread disinformation. And even worse than that is the fact that there are absolute brain dead morons who lap this up like starving dogs.
