The U.S. Postal Service and the Energy Research and Development Administration have a joint effort for development and installation of a flywheel system in a 1/4 ton electric postal delivery vehicle. The completed vehicle is scheduled to begin operational test and evaluation in January 1978. Electric vehicles have the advantage over esting internal combustion engine vehicles of producing minimum pollution and requiring no oil based fuelds. Preliminary test results show that adding a flywheel can significantly improve performance and increase the potential application of the electric vehicle for postal delivery service without an increase in energy consumption.
