www.chinatrucks.com: Beijing has put 70 eclectic vehicles on the road for logistics purposes, according to Beijing Morning Post.

They will be used for agro-produce distribution and express deliveries, in a pilot project launched by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce (BMCC) and Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission.

The vehicles are adopted by four local logistics companies. The mileage is about 100 km after a charge.

The use of electric vehicles for delivery purposes will help promote the development of electric cars in the capital city, said Ran Jinsheng, vice director

of the BMCC.

 
Industrial insiders also believe that the pilot project, once it becomes successful and is expanded to involve more companies, will help reduce the cost of logistics.

Beijing's logistics industry has witnessed a rapid development in recent years, with revenues surging from ¥100 billion ($15.9 billion) in 2006 to more than ¥200 billion in 2012.
