Miles Electric Vehicles to be distributed in the Benelux

(01/02/2008)

Miles Electric Vehicles has completed its first international distribution agreement in January with AllGreenVehicles of the Netherlands, which will bring the MILES low speed, all electric vehicle line to the three Benelux countries of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

The venture, known as MILES-Benelux BV, will be responsible for EU Certification of MILES low speed vehicles as well as establishing sales and service channels in the Benelux countries. MILES-Benelux BV will be receiving its first allocation of MILES vehicles in January, and volume allocations will be available in the second quarter of 2008.

AllGreenVehicles is affiliated with Noordam Performance. “The Noordam’s are leading suppliers in the all electric transportation field, and they understand the aspirations of fleets and consumers in the European Union to go green,” stated MILES CEO, Jeff Boyd. “In addition, they believe in the viability of the growing low speed market as well as the highway speed market which MILES will be entering next year.”

“We have researched all of the international companies that are trying to enter the all electric business, but only Miles Electric Vehicles has products that are available today…products that meet our safety, performance and quality requirements,” Martijn Noordam, Principal of MILES-Benelux BV, said of the joint venture. Noordam can be contacted at info@algreenvehicles.com for further information.

Miles Electric Vehicles is headquartered in Santa Monica, Calif. and markets a line of low speed, all electric cars and trucks. All MILES vehicles conform to U.S. NHTSA standards. To date the company's fleet customer base includes the City of Chicago, NASA, UCLA, Cal State Polytechnic University, and the U.S. Navy. MILES is currently developing an affordable, all electric highway speed vehicle for distribution in 2009.
