Yes mate its showing as a sell lol

Hi mate glad you are on board i know you like research. When you get a min do a comparison with ECV and manganese bronze taking into account how the market has changed ie green and how ECV have progressed. Be interested if you draw a similar conclusion to me. Exciting share i feel.

I think a key point here is when will merc bring out the Hybrid Vito i wonder if its price sensative information? Quick glance at London and green vehicles throws up an awful lot of news. LTI are making a battery taxi and if Merc are 1st to market it will make a huge difference.

Morning mate heres to a green day lol

The plug-in series hybrid van by Eco City Vehicles Plc. On show in camden with a pic http://www.newspress.co.uk/DAILY_LINKS/arc_oct_2009/051009gme.htm

Loads of it and all current Green is the future and Mercedes know it along with ECV http://www.labour.org.uk/lord-adonis-speech-conference,2009-09-28

On a serious note have a look at this... http://www.supplymanagement.com/EDIT/CURRENT_ISSUE_pages/CI_web_feature.asp?id=20438

Lets hope it comes to penalties lol

"In the second half of 2009. Eco City will be expanding its own operations to the eastern part of England encompassing Luton, Peterborough, Norwich, Southend and Basildon." News regarding that and how the Frankfurt Motor Show has gone with a potential order from any of the German Taxi Association. The Association has 6000 members, many of whom are interested in the vehicle because of its wheelchair accessibility and six seats." All good

Agree mate think this has a way to go yet. Someone has been selling a reaonable sized stake over the last couple of weeks but that could well be out of the way now. GLA great little share. Did i mention the factory they have in Coventry lol

Have to say the ECV Website is one of the worse i have seen http://www.ecocityvehicles.com/ although the KPM one looks a bit better lol

The 3.5 truck is far more me and its silent so you wouldnt here me coming lol

Merc have been testing the hydrogen power cell in germany.

I need to do more research on the future for transportation in London and major citys but early indications are its green very green and probably why ECV are going along this road. The Cabs and Hybrid lorries will be the future the technology is here now and afordable. Great little video http://www.canter.co.uk/technical--environment/canter-eco-hybrid.aspx and too top that ECV has a LPG Zero emission system instead of the Diesel !

Mercedes are also testing a hybrid Vito which i can only speculate on although ECV have mentioned it will be the way forward for the company.

Agree mate a very smart company that puts customer loyalty 1st. Mercedes i feel would not have put themselves in a position with a company that was anything but.

The Merc seems to be going down well with both drivers and customers http://www.taxiglobe.info/pdf/TG606_p4.pdf

I feel its a sound company and with alot going on they also own 33% of One88 ltd who produce and have the patent for the rear wheel turning system.

The makers and only rivals currently £1.50 a share are having a hard time if you look at the interims http://www.manganese.com/share_price.php Have no doubt that the launch of the Mercedes Vito has contributed to this.

Notice someone mentioned the Conservative link Tony Yeo is on the board of ECV seems a very Green chap http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/tim_yeo/south_suffolk
