The zero emissions, AC motor MILES ZX40ST work truck is being showcased publicly for the first time at the Green California Summit at the Sacramento Convention Center now.

“We’re pleased to partner with the Green California Summit as a Gold Sponsor and show the production AC motor ZX40ST for the first time publicly,” says Jeff Boyd, Miles Electric Vehicles COO. “We believe that as the only truly affordable, light duty, all electric LSV truck on the market, the ZX40ST fills a product gap and also performs on par with its gas powered counterparts.”

The MILES ZX40ST, which functions especially well in a fleet environment, is already in high demand with many units pre-sold to university and municipal fleet users throughout the country. Even with a production rate of 200 units per month, the ZX40ST is on backorder until June. With a newly structured sales force that spans the country, the ZX40ST and other MILES vehicles are now available for demonstration nationwide upon request. The base MSRP for the MILES ZX40ST is $18,400, and can be seen on the Web at www.milesev.com.

Founded in 2005 by activist/entrepreneur Miles Rubin and headquartered in Santa Monica, Calif., Miles Electric Vehicles is marketing a line of low speed, all electric cars and trucks, which combine the best of U.S. electric motor and controller technology with China’s advanced battery and vehicle manufacturing capabilities.
