Japan Post Service to buy 1,030 electric cars from start-up firm

Japan Post Service Co. plans to purchase 1,030 electric vehicles from Zerosports Co., a start-up firm based in Gifu Prefecture, for collection and delivery of mail, sources familiar with the matter said Monday. Under the plan, the mail delivery service arm of Japan Post Holdings Co. will order 30 vehicles in fiscal 2010 through March and 1,000 more in fiscal 2011, they said. The plan follows Japan Post Service's experimental use of some Zerosports electric cars in which it rated their performance highly. Zerosports, which entered the electric car business in 1998, says its electric vehicles loaded with mail can travel for around 100 kilometers on an eight-hour charge.
