Electric Vehicles International (EVI) Ramping Up in Preparation for Increased Demand in 2013

STOCKTON, Calif., Feb. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- EVI, a producer of Alternative Energy Vehicles (AEVs), is proud to announce significant and early 2013 gains in the medium and heavy duty truck manufacturing industry sectors.

"This is an exciting time for EVI, and consumers worldwide", noted Ricky Hanna, President and CEO of EVI. "We're proud to provide a commercial zero emission solution for today's goods movement industry that sets the stage for stable and sustainable fleet management for decades to come."

Most recently, EVI was recognized by Governor Brown for manufacturing and delivering over 15 trucks a month for UPS's landmark 100-vehicle purchase order. EVI has manufactured and successfully deployed 50 of those medium duty trucks to date and employs roughly 60 staff in its Stockton California facility.

Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC) has joined forces with EVI in an effort to Co-Promote its all-electric Walk-In Van, which is built on an FCCC chassis. As part of this effort, FCCC and EVI will jointly work together to target electric vehicle compatible fleets. FCCC will display EVI's Walk-In Van in Freightliner's booth at the Association for The Work Truck Industry (NTEA) trade show next month.
