Melex is an electric vehicle produced by a company of the same name in Mielec, Poland. It has been in production since 1971.
The car, having full necessary equipment such as headlamps and seatbelts, is very quiet and does not pollute the environment, so it is usually used in places where standard cars are not allowed. It is also smaller than them, but slower (the maximum speed is about 30Â km/h, depending on the version). Some versions require having a driver's license.
At first, the car was in use as a transport vehicle for golf players, but now it has many versions that include:
- passenger versions (max 8)
- truck versions (up to 1250Â kg of cargo),
- special. (including ambulances and hearses)
Its typical use is to travel in quiet places, such as parks, or cemeteries, or in factories to transport people or things over short distances, where speed is not necessary
The standard Melex has no doors and can carry two people (a driver and a passenger). It can contain more seats for more passengers and/or baggage.
It is equipped with a battery and rectifier which allow easy recharging.
