The Nice Car Company has resumed trading as the London sales arm of Aixam-Mega Ltd, which manufactures electric vehicles.

Aixam acquired the assets of NICE after it went into administration last year. Now it has a sales outlet in the capital, it said it will now target the fleet market.

“We need to encourage businesses, public sector bodies and individuals to consider a move to electric vehicles for repetitive short hop transport,” said Lawrence Holland, Aixam-Mega general manager.

“These cars are ideal for commuting and as pool cars for any urban firm providing a local service, such as estate agents, solicitors, barristers, and so on.

“We will be talking to local and central government as well as business users to see how we can promote further growth in infrastructure as well as broader acceptance of the benefits of these cars”.
