Azure Dynamics said that it will deliver 200 units in 2011 with an additional 200 units scheduled in both 2012 and 2013, subject to annual authorizations by Purolator.
The initial allotment of 200 units will be built and delivered primarily in the third and fourth quarters of 2011 and will be delivered to Purolator facilities across Canada.
All units will include the Balance Hybrid Electric second generation architecture characterized by the Johnson Controls-Saft lithium ion battery plus many other upgrades designed to improve efficiency, reliability and durability.
The Azure Balance Hybrid Electric vehicles ordered by Purolator are integrated on a Ford E450 chassis with a Ford 5.4L gasoline engine.
