As someone who was born in Madras a very long time ago and who left after that city became a public gas chamber of sorts, I can only wish you luck.<BR/><BR/>I hope that you do really well over there and that the Smith Newton (or whatever variation you decide to sell there) becomes a roaring success. I guess you guys know about this but the Exim Bank has a $ 5.5 billion fund for the export of green tech to India for this year. I really can't think of a better candidate than your truck as a recipient for this funding if you do decide to export to the country where I was born.<BR/><BR/>Thank you very much for responding and for the information that corrects a faux pas in my post with extremely positive information indeed!mehulkamdarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210416730465039593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725048551167635627.post-32079601250729744582009-03-13T18:40:00.000-05:002009-03-13T18:40:00.000-05:00Mehul, a couple of points if I may.(a) The Smith N...Mehul, a couple of points if I may.<BR/><BR/>(a) The Smith Newton isn't a new vehicle on trial. It's been in production in the UK for nearly 3 years. Check out the Case Studies page at Smith's UK website for examples http://www.smithelectricvehicles.com<BR/><BR/>(b) The base vehicle is made in the Czech republic by Avia, a company owned by Ashok Leyland. see this page on the Avia Trucks website http://www.avia.cz/en/sec/company/environmentalpolicy/electricavia.htmlStanWellawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803174359223938530noreply@blogger.com
