Electric vehicle company Phoenix Motorcars plans to build electric cars in Mexico for shipment throughout Latin American and Indian sub-continent markets.
The California-based company inked an agreement with Pristine International SAdeSV for a joint-venture manufacturing plant in Puebla, Mexico on 18 acres of land provided through the efforts of Puebla’s governor, Mario Marin Torres.
Phoenix announced that Volkswagen of Mexico will also be a participant in the venture.
Phoenix Motorcars says it has taken orders for more than 500 fleet-ready vehicles for 2008 delivery and continues to target United States premier fleet operators with an all-electric mid-size Sport Utility Truck and SUV.
Phoenix claims its battery-electric, Sports Utility Truck can travel at freeway-speeds while carrying five passengers and a full payload, with a driving range of over 100 miles on its lithium-titinate battery. The company says the battery can be recharged in less than 10 minutes and has a life of greater than 250,000 miles.
