....being installed in five prototype electric delivery vans for SEV. Antonov (UK engineering firm) is currently involved in a project with Smith Electric Vehicles to install its new three-speed transmission in the prototype commercial vehicles which will bring significant efficiency gains and a better driver experience. Antonov recently won the IDTechEx Electric Vehicles Land Sea Air “Technology Award‟ for this innovation, for the most significant EV tech development over the past two years.

Talking about negativity towards a stock, 12% of PDX's stock is currently shorted, but the company is changing directions and may be worth a look if you are looking for another investment http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/markets/article-23969588-shorters-shafted-as-pursuit-dynamics-bounces-back-again.do

Am waiting for funds to top up here again so was happy to see it drop back down below the 300 again recently but looks like I may have missed the boat now! They could have waited until the end of the month to release the news!! Then again if it's anything like the other shares on AIM lately, the good news will quickly be forgotten and the price will drift back again until the next RNS, so there may yet still be time for a cheeky top up and for newcomers to get on board. Once we lose the shorters we will get re-rated, don't you think?

Nice one! The truth certainly does hurt for the shorters!

Yeah a lot of my holdings are swinging low at the moment (except PDX which swung up 15% yesterday)! What sort of price do you think TAN should be trading at without the negative sentiment (and ignoring the SEV side of things)? BTW, well done to those who got a chunk at 10p.

Re today's announcement: “We remind investors that we have not included any revenues from this division in our estimates. If initial indications prove consistent in the full field trial, the division could easily be the biggest profit centre for the group. We reiterate our buy recommendation and 1565p target price,” it said.

Nice finds re the articles. I assume the legislation to extend the incentives is just proposed at the moment but the article is a bit confusing in that it starts off by saying what the legislation WOULD do (presumably, if adopted) but ends up by saying that the tax credits WILL promote purchases (as if it's a done deal). As for the SP, I can't speak for any long term holders, but I first bought into these in January for 30p and they are the only share in my account that has shown a steady and healthy profit more or less ever since. There was one time since when it temporarily dropped back to 22p and I nearly topped up but had to go out and when I came back it had shot back up to 28p so I kicked myself. For me, the main interest with this share is not TAN but SEV.

Progress on another LOB just been announced with the Thames Water Trial.

Post on iii on Friday by Mike BP after he contacted SEV. Thank you for your interest in Smith Electric Vehicles. We are still moving forward on the IPO and NASDAQ. Our goal is sometime this year.

Have been invested here for a while and I think the tide is starting to turn. Nice biofuel deals starting to bring the money in, the nuclear decontamination joint venture, the joint venture with Katcher, food contract with a major European manufacturer, brewing installations, and Proctor & Gamble assessing where they can use the technology. I think the problem with this share has been that everyone saw the potential early on and jumped on board and sent the share price sky high while they were still in the development stage. It has been a long time and the share price has taken a hammering in the meantime, but I think they are at last beginning to bring some of the potential to fruition. I think (or should that be 'hope') the only way is up now. But what do I know? Just my opinion, DYOR, etc. etc.
