Here is some information about who we are....................

Canadian Electric Vehicles Ltd. (CEV) was established in 1991 to convert internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles to clean electric power. Randy Holmquist, President of CEV, has over 25 years combined experience in the automotive and marine industries, which includes over 12 years of experience with electric vehicles.

Customers have included federal and provincial governments, industrial companies as well as private individuals. CEV has also provided electric power conversion "kits" to Universities, corporations and individuals across Canada, and is currently converting heavy-duty diesel trucks to electric power for the airline industry.

The electric towing unit

was designed and developed in 2000, and began production in 2001. The Might-E Tug is designed to move a variety of carts, bins and equipment and has been sold to hospitals, institutions and retail operations.

Our

ELECTRIC VEHICLE PROPONENTS CALL ON GOVERNMENTS TO CONVERT FLEETS

When it comes to energy conservation and climate change, governments should lead by example, say electric vehicle proponents.The non-profit Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association is calling on Canadian governments -- municipal, regional, provincial and federal - to use battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids in their fleets.It's an idea that Randy Holmquist, president of Vancouver Island-based Canadian Electric Vehicle (CEV), says could quickly reduce greenhouse gases."Just think of all the government facilities in Canada that could be running electric vehicles," says Holmquist, reeling off a list of possible sites ranging from military bases to ports to civic maintenance yards to universities.Taxpayers would see substantial benefits, he adds.Not only would zero-emission vehicles help address global warming, but they also don't burn expensive fuel and typically require minimal maintenance, cutting costs dramatically.In addition, electric vehicle technology represents little risk.

CEV's products, for example, have already proven themselves in airports, hospitals and even the navy - but mainly in other countries, as far away as Australia and Dubia. Holmquist is urging Canadian political leaders to embrace electric vehicles, starting with the industrial market."This is where the technology is mature and reliable."The electric vehicle association points out that electric-powered motors - three times more efficient than combustion engines - have long been in use commercially. In Vancouver, electric streetcars and trains were the primary transportation system until the 1940s, and electric buses remain on the streets today.Holmquist, with the help of the National Research Council's Industrial Research Assistance Program, has been producing commercial vehicles since 2000. He started in the industry even earlier, developing in the early 1990s a car conversion kit that has recently seen a surge in demand due to soaring gasoline prices.His firm's Mighty Tug can be found at many hospitals and factories internationally, pulling heavy laundry hampers and machinery parts. More than 100 of them have been sold.

Spurred by airport managers who approached him looking for a way to comply with new clean air emissions standards, he later developed a three-ton electric airport truck."Limiting the number of flights in and out of airports to meet emissions standards doesn't make economic sense," says Holmquist. "So they looked for solutions on the ground and opened up a previously untapped market ideally suited for short-haul electric vehicles."Fifty of CEV’s electric trucks are on duty at airports from New York's JFK and Chicago's Dulles to Loss Angeles's LAX. Other clients include Southwest Airlines, Shell Oil, and British Petroleum, which buys CEV vehicles for its Australian division.CEV has now developed a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, Might-E Truck - a small pick-up and van designed for urban service work. It's capable of speeds up to about 40 kmh with a 100-km range and one-ton payload. These trucks are used by city crews in the U.S. and one is in use at Seattle's Seahawk Stadium as a maintenance vehicle.The vehicle is ideally suited for use at similarly large venues such as military bases, universities and resorts, says Holmquist.

Encouraged by federal and B.C. government commitments to the environment, as well as increasing attention from businesses, Holmquist sees a brighter future for the electric vehicle industry."Businesses are becoming aware of their environmental impact, and their customers are demanding more green policies. Going electric would boost their images and their bottom lines."
