Smart way to travel

Last week Monaco took delivery of 6 new electric cars.

In an agreement with German manufacturer Mercedes, 6 of an eventual 10 Smart Fortwo electric drive cars were delivered to the Principality on Wednesday. Four are for the use of the public parking service, 1 for the police, and 1 for the Palace. The remaining 4 have yet to be assigned to organizations.

The contract with Mercedes is another example of Monaco's policy of sustainable development through increased use of eco-friendly vehicles. To date, the Principality is home to:

• 123 4-wheeled electric vehicles and 333 charging stations
• 173 2-wheeled vehicles and 145 charging stations

In addition, electric vehicles may park on the street free of charge [1].
