ALECS is an NVN Proof of Concept project that will produce an innovative and lightweight last mile delivery e-trike. Project partners are Pashley Cycles (project lead and vehicle demonstration), Simpact (engineering consultancy and suspension specialists) and Reynolds (specialists in the supply of lightweight tubing). Low overall mass and articulating chassis will be achieved using lightweight materials and novel suspension technology. The concept will be demonstrated in the delivery livery of our observer partner, Serco. The developed concept will deliver a safe, zero emission, efficient last mile delivery vehicle and on a configurable multi-function platform, opening up a significant market opportunity.
