A project to develop a new all-electric urban car, that will be affordable for
many consumers when it reaches market and manufactured using an innovative and
sustainable production process has been announced in the UK. It comes at a time
when many companies are announcing development programs for electric or zero
emission vehicles , hybrids and plug-in hybrids but how these vehicles are made
may be as important to the environment as the fuel they do or don't use.
