Chrysler brings us the electric powered "Silent Karrier"
18 months after the commercial launch of its Silent Rider bus in Manchester, the Chloride Group Ltd. has co-operated with two other
companies to introduce the Silent Karrier electric van. The vehicle is the result of a 2-year joint project carried out by Chloride, Chrysler UK Ltd. and the National Freight Corporation. The Silent Karrier, one of the largest electric vehicles yet developed, has a maximum payload of 1780 kg and is capable of speeds of up to 64 km/h, with a maximum range of 64 km.

I found the above article after reading "Can Electric Cars do the Job" in the August 1977 American Legion Magazine. The same issue had a multi-page spread titled "Is LNG the Answer?" that supported LNG imports, and another titled "Exciting Solar Ideas." I found the LNG article especially interesting as it details brownouts, blackouts, plant closings, etc. all tied to the then domestic shortage of natural gas during the unusually cold winters in 1976 and 1977.

Funny how some things change and others stay the same. The successful electric delivery truck and electric automobile still seem to be the holy grail.
