14 October 2010
UK-based AVID Vehicles has launched a new all-electric utility vehicle with superior off-road performance.

The vehicle is the first in its sector to use dual DC electric motors—one on each axle—which improves off-road performance and vehicle stability, while reducing weight and cost.
The motors deliver 40 N·m of torque each, with power of 15 kW. Maximum speed is 25 mph (40 km/h). Towing capacity is 500 kg.
Priced at £9,750 (US$15,600), E-Warrior is less expensive than standard 4x4 utility trucks and the other electric utility trucks on the market.
