Zero Emmisions

Our electric vehicles are completely zero emission.
Smith Electric Vehicles are fully zero emission. This means zero tailpipe pollution: no PM10s, no nitrogen oxide, no carbon monoxide and no carbon dioxide.
Today's political and social environment is placing increasing pressure on fleet managers to lower their emissions. Consumer pressure to shop green is also at an all time high. Smith's electric vehicles not only provide a greener solution in terms of zero emissions, but also contain components that are 100% recyclable. http://www.smithelectricvehicles.com/whyelectric_zeroemissions.asp
