Norfolk company plans to sell electric trucks
NORFOLK
With plans to capitalize on the growth of the electric automobile market, a firm has built an all-electric utility truck and wants to begin manufacturing and selling the vehicle by next year.
Viridian Motor Corp. was founded three years ago by several area businessmen and has built five prototypes of its utility truck. The "Work Ready" truck is designed primarily for agricultural uses, said Terry Langhorne, the company's president. The vehicle also could be used by businesses ranging from apartment complexes to golf courses, he said.
While plans for the truck have been in the works for seven years, the company unveiled one of its prototypes to the public Wednesday night outside of the Naro Expanded Cinema, which was showing the documentary "Revenge of the Electric Car."
The all-electric utility truck has a price of $13,500 and a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour, which Langhorne said makes it ideal for use around a farm or golf course. And compared with other utility vehicles, it's cost-effective, he said.
