World's first high–performance, all–electric zero emission vehicle (ZEV) sets the pace for the world's oldest, most prestigious marathon

Boston, Mass.–April 10, 2008– Vectrix, the world's first all-electric two-wheel zero emission vehicle (ZEV), will set the pace in front of the runners April 21 for the Boston Marathon.

Three Vectrix vehicles will ride ahead of the runners along the 26-mile route, escorting Race Director Dave McGillivray and race photographers from start to finish. The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.), sponsor of the marathon since its inception, chose Vectrix for its zero emission technology. "Studies have shown that fuel emissions may have potential adverse effects on runners," said Ron Kramer, lead vehicle coordinator for the B.A.A. "We are especially concerned with those vehicles that are closest to the runners, and Vectrix electric vehicles will eliminate any adverse effects."
