UQM Technologies (UQM) has received an order from Quantum Fuel Tech (QTWW) for its high efficiency electric drive system to power a postal service electric vehicle which is currently in development.  A successful demonstration following a one year development program could lead to widespread adoption by the postal service for its fleet of 178K .. not to mention a great revenue source for both UQM and Quantum.

“We are pleased to be selected by Quantum for this important program,” said William G. Rankin, UQM Technologies’ President and CEO. “We have a long history of collaborating with Quantum on successful clean vehicle programs for the U.S. Military and other commercial customers, and we expect this program to result in a vehicle that exceeds the USPS’ performance expectations.”
