Electric Beer Truck Delivers Great Taste, Less Filling

retro trucks deliveries beer motoring





Aren't they just something, what a great LOOK!



A Canadian brewery has electrified a 1958 Chevrolet Apache pickup for hauling kegs and cases without tailpipe emissions.


When Toronto company Steam Whistle expanded into British Columbia, they kept up the tradition of using vintage cars and trucks in their delivery fleet. We all know the greenest car is the one that’s already been built, but Steam Whistle’s local fleet manager wasn’t thrilled with the emissions controls on 50-year-old engines. So he assembled a team of EV conversion experts and got to work.

Soon, the Retro Electro hot-rod EV pickup was born.




So says Autopia




Just take a squiz at this video - it says it all, fascinating stuff!
