NLE intends to purchase a variety of electric SUV’s from Amp for utilization within fleet operations and for re-sale within the its market region with delivery of the first Amp electric SUV to NLE is expected to take place in early 2011.
NLE CEO Gisli Gislason said that Amp’s 100% electric vehicle technology makes it an ideal partner to work towards our underlying goal of radically improving the transportation industry in Iceland.
"The SUV segment now captures approximately 35% of the Icelandic car market, and while most industry players are focused on other market segments, we have high hopes for this segment and in AMP’s market-ready technology," Gislason said.
