I'll be traveling to Las Vegas today to attend the International Airport Expo.
I won't spoil the surprise, but I know there will be an interesting new vehicle on display from a company well-known for electric GSE. Thing is this won't be electric. Anyone who wants to go anywhere will need to fill the tank with gas or diesel depending on the engine.
This company's been successful selling eGSE, but the executive I spoke to last week says the pie just isn't big enough for electric in this country. Maybe only a couple a hundred vehicles when it comes to this type for the whole year.
So why fight when you can switch?
Not that long after my conversation, however, a press release came our way from Corvus announcing a new deal with NMC-Wollard. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who hadn't heard of Corvus just one year ago. The new electric model will be at the show
Also, a new lithium ion battery for the GSE market will be on display. We learned about this battery distributed by Averest yesterday. The company says this one can charge in less than an hour.
Can't make too much out of two eGSE bits of news to one traditional GSE, but we are wondering where the eGSE for this country has been and where it's going. We'll be coming up with the questions for a survey to better judge the current size and future direction of the eGSE market shortly. If you have any thoughts, I'd be glad to hear them.
