CITY CAR BACK FOR A RETH!NK
If you think electric cars don't have a future, TH!NK again. A
plastic two-seater first launched eight years ago will be reborn in
2007 as an all-new design.
Development of the Norwegian city runabout is due for completion next
year, and this time TH!NK means business. The company is currently
recruiting for several high-ranking roles, including sales director
and head of product development.
"We are building an organisation that will meeting the exciting
chalellenges ahead," said a spokesman. The car is still a tw-seater
with a plastic bodyshell, but the styling is new and the battery
range has been improved - up from 50 miles to nearly 80. Standard kit
includes ABDS brakes, power steering and central locking.
Launched in Norway in November 1999, the original TH!NK project was
bought by Ford. While the car was never officially sold in the UK,
several were leased for trials. The project was eventually
mothballed as part of cut-backs by the blue oval, but the current
owner vowed to resurrect it, and has been true to its word.
