In a move that would be the envy of even NASA, the ELTA announced the receipt of 250 electric two-wheelers of Greek manufacture, putting an end to a «drought» of fleet renewal that lasted only a quarter of a century.
The Greek NOOS and the digital «silence»
The new scooters, called NOOS®, are designed by Greek engineers and promise an autonomy of 131 kilometers. The best?; They are practically silent. So if you are waiting for that overdue electricity bill, the postman can now approach your door with ninja stealth, without disturbing the quiet of the neighbourhood.
Sustainability and «security» (for those who are left)
The administration and the Ypertafond spoke of a «strategic choice» with the safety of distributors in mind. It is indeed comforting to know that the remaining postmen - those who survived the voluntary redundancies and the closure of 140+ shops - will now be driving zero-emission vehicles.. What if you need a GPS and a strong stomach to find a post office in the countryside?; The important thing is that your parcel (when it arrives) will have been transported with 100% Greek know-how.
The «new era» of the ELTA
Yannis Papachristou, CEO of the Yperta Fund, stressed that the investment ensures that the company will be «next to every citizen, in every corner of the country». A statement that will surely move the residents of areas where the local post office is a distant memory.
At least now, distributors will have «connectivity and tracking capabilities». So if they get lost looking for one of the few remaining open branches, we can at least find them on the map.
Good looking new bikes! We hope their speed will be faster than the time it takes for a letter to get from Athens to Kythera.
