Roush Electric Vehicle

The Roush Electric Vehicle produced by Roush Industries is essentially a small pick-up truck that conforms to most LSV/NEV standards except GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating).  With a payload capacity of 1,100 pounds the REV has a GVWR of almost 4,000 lbs which is well over the 3,000 lb limit put forth in NHTSA’s FMVSS 500 regulations that relate to LSVs.  The company has been unsuccessful in obtaining an exemption for the vehicle and therefore has put a hold on any further development.  Learn more:  Automobilemag.com
