Will You Be Covered On The Continent?
2008-05-30 23:32:00 In many respects the world is getting smaller - and it's now almost as easy to drive across Europe as it is to drive across the UK. However, while driving abroad may be simple, the level of car insurance required is still foreign to many of us.All UK car insurance providers must supply the minimum level of cover when you travel across countries within the European Union. Yet for the many drivers who have comprehensive cover in Britain, this will mean their policies are downgraded when they travel overseas.According to research from Defaqto, the independent financial data analyst, 21 per cent of car insurance policies available do not provide comprehensive foreign use as standard. Instead, it is necessary for policyholders to pay an additional premium to secure the level of cover they require.There are variations too regarding the period you are covered for. Around a third of all insurers provide 60 days or less cover during a 12month period with 46 per cent offering 90 days or more...

Modec to start EV van exports to the Continent
2007-10-29 03:38:00 The all-electric Modec compact delivery van, known for being the choice model for British supermarkets Tesco, has been shown to prospective buyers in Amsterdam (in a left-hand version) during the Dutch Road Transport Exhibition. Modec has just opened a new office in the Netherlands and the first Dutch customers are small companies in the metro area of Amsterdam. This Modec van has a 102 HP electric motor which can compete with diesel-powered counterparts, although the maximum speed is limited to 80 km/h (50 mph). The maximum distance these vans can run is 160 km (100 miles), which is enough for local services. The truck uses lithium batteries.The van is available in many configurations: truck, open truck, panel van, refrigerated truck. And it's a model designed from scratch for electric use, instead of being a conversion model. Looks like they're on to something here.

Water, displaced by passing boats, lapped up against a rudimentary wooden barricade, erected to keep guests from the slimed over steps leading down to a small canal. Gondoliers, standing stiff above tourists, shouted echoing ?Hoys!? as they twisted blind past ... |
