'DELIVER-E' is the name of a new electric vehicle prototype developed by the University of Warwick that hints at the future of delivery.
The electric delivery car is modeled after the Renault Twizy and boasts a small-scale design that imagines a cleaner, quieter and more environmentally friendly alternative to the majority of delivery vehicles currently on the roads. As a vehicle that has been created expressly for the purpose of making deliveries, the design boasts features such as an enlarged rear cargo area. Although DELIVER-E is not set to go into production, it serves as a look into some of the innovative technologies that have been created by the University of Warwick's WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group.)
Compact electric vehicles are being embraced across the transportation industry as everything from passenger buses to mail trucks.
