Isle of Wight meet Twizy electric

If you happen to notice a small, strange looking vehicle driving on Isle of Wight roads from today, chances are it’s a Twizy.

14 of zero-carbon emission electric cars made their way across the Solent yesterday (Tuesday) as a new car hire company set up in Cowes.

The nippy little electric vehicles seat two people, can reach a top speed of 50mph and travel for up to 62 miles on one charge.

Members of Red Funnel staff including customer services director Murray Carter, along with volunteers drove on and off the Red Funnel ferry.
