New York drugstore chain Duane Reade will add Smith Electric’s Newton electric trucks to its delivery fleet. The move is part of a plan to reduce pollution, fuel consumption and in time, overall cost. With a range of more than 100 miles after an overnight charge and in excess of 16,000 lbs. carrying capacity, the cost of operating the electric trucks is about one-third the cost of running traditional diesel delivery trucks. Smith Electric says its Newton electric trucks are well-suited for urban settings.
