It what may be a result from REVA's exposure at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year, Northern Lights Energy (NLE), who happen to be the initiator of the 2012 project and provider for the infrastructure of services for Electric Vehicles in Iceland, have come forth and signed a deal with REVA for the exclusive rights to distribute REVA electric car models in Iceland.
The NLE-REVA agreement extends further than just the NXR model which was lapped up by the global press at this years Frankfurt Motor show, for NLE intends on having exclusive distribution rights in Iceland for all consequent REVA car models as well, including the NXG sports coupe which is slated for a 2011 launch. The NXR however is set for a 2010 debut, where sales and marketing will begin earlier in the year and customers in Iceland will get delivery towards the end of 2010.

The REVA NXR is a four-seat, three-door hatchback family car. Essentially a city car, due to its reliance on having great infrastructure support in terms of charging port outlets, the NXR is a stylish statement that is extremely eco friendly as well. It is capable of touching a top speed of 104 kmph and has a 160 km range on a single charge. If the user opts for the quick charge mode (90 minutes fast charge), the car offers an effective range of 320km in a single day. For emergencies there is the 15 minute charge as well which translates to a 40 km range. Considering NLE's ambitions for Iceland in terms of propagating the sales of EVs, the NXR and subsequent models from REVA just fit right into the picture.
Apart from this major deal with NLE, REVA is also exploring the possibilities of setting up an assembly plant in Iceland to cater to the growing demand from the European markets. It's a great step forward for REVA and considering the momentum that EVs are taking on worldwide, it is also a big opportunity to make a statement on a global front.
