pressrelease                                                                    Trollhättan 15. Feb. 2006   Swedish manufacturer to challenge Yamaha, Honda, Piaggio and Peugeot. Dear Sir, In the light of the ongoing catastrophic environment pollution, Berix Svenska AB has designed and built an electric driven moped that has a range significantly longer than previous was possible. The Eloped has been designed and built in order to prove that an electric vehicle with the latest technology is superior to its fuel driven counterpart. For instance is the energy cost only 0.02 Euro per 10 km including taxes. In order to speed up the inevitable change from polluting vehicles to Electric Vehicles a letter has been sent to the CEO:s at Honda and Yamaha in Japan, Piaggio in Italy and Peugeot in France. In the letter there is a challenge about the driven distance on one charge. The start will take place in Stockholm 1. May 2006. For more information please contact: Leif E:son Berix, Överby Berg, S - 461 70 Trollhättan, Sweden. Attachment 1: Copy of letter sent to two - wheel moped manufacturers.

Trollhättan 31. Jan. 2006   Dear Sir, As vehicle manufacturer we have to react to very serious environmental impact and the negative medical effect on human beings and animals, which is caused by emissions from the present gasoline and diesel engines. We all know that fuelcells or hydrogen are not a realistic alternative, even if the politicians are very generous to support the research in this field. The only motor vehicles that are really friendly to the environment and to human beings are the electric vehicles, which are charged from renewable energy sources, such as hydro, wind and sun generated electricity. Unfortunately the general, but incorrect, opinion is that electric powered two wheeled vehicles can make only 60 - 80 km per charge. In order to prove how many kilometers an electric powered vehicle can make before recharging and in order to speed up the development of electric vehicles, we hereby challenge you in a driving distance duel for a two-wheel vehicle on one charge. The start should take place in Stockholm, Sweden on May 1. 2006. We are looking forward for your replay at latest February 27. 2006. Berix Svenska AB Yours faithfully Leif E:son Berix Berix Svenska AB Överby Berg S - 461 70 Trollhättan Sweden.

No answers,
- but Leif Berix will make a try anyway . . .

On May 25 students will drive two of Berix mopeds to see how far they can run on one charge.
