PORTUGUESE CONSUMERS should be able to buy an environmentally friendly electric powered car by 2011.
That is the plan announced by Prime Minister José Sócrates who signed a pioneering protocol in Lisbon with Renault-Nissan.
So far, only Denmark and Israel have made similar commitments to non-polluting electrical cars, which would be capable of speeds of 145km/h and covering 160km before needing a change of battery at a service station.
OS CONSUMIDORES PORTUGUESES PODERÃO ADQUIRIR UM CARRO ELÉCTRICO JÁ EM 2011.
