Green Machines launches Mega City zero emissions electric car



Green Machines has launched the Mega City electric car in Ireland. Expertly designed the vehicle provides a practical and aesthetically pleasing answer to emission free journeys in urban centres. Robert Nolan, Managing Director, Green Machines stated: “The Mega City is a welcome addition to our expanding fleet. For the first time the Irish consumer will have a choice in the market place. This car feels much more like a mainstream offering from a mass manufacturer which not only looks well from the outside but it feels like a proper car on the inside as well.”

The Mega City is produced by the French Manufacturer Axiam- Mega Group and have production volumes in excess of 15,000 cars per year making it one of Europe's leading suppliers of these types of vehicles. The car is larger, wider and more car-like in appearance and operation than its competition. The Mega City is built with an aluminium chassis and occupant safety cell, and is clad in impact-resistant polycarbonate panels.

The Manufacturer says this body is 100 percent recyclable. As an all-electric car it produces zero emissions at the point of use and has a top speed of 64kph with a range of 80 kilometers. Considering that the average urban commute is under 20 kilometers a day this is more than enough. The car comes standard in either a two or four seat configuration with exterior temperature gauge with black ice alert (< 3°C), anti-theft security, central remote locking, automatic illuminating hazard lights in sudden deceleration, CD/Radio with removable security face, reversing sensors and more.

The French maker of the Mega City’s body, has voluntarily ensured that it meets minimum car impact safety standards and has carried out crash testing to ensure passenger safety where it's competitors have not. Furthermore the soft body panels and the absence of a hard engine underneath the bonnet make the car a safer vehicle for other road-users and pedestrians. The Mega City will be on view to the public at the Green Machines showrooms in Terenure in Dublin.
