Deutsche Bank -- first electric cars in use

Deutsche Bank has been testing the use of electric cars since the beginning of April 2011 as part of a pilot project at its new Deutsche Bank towers in Frankfurt. A fleet of small electric-powered cars, which has been growing constantly, is available for business trips within the city. A special feature of this e-car pilot project is that the vehicles are charged at electric charging points in the building's underground car park with electricity supplied by the building itself. Electricity is generated by the elevators depending on their direction and load, and this is sufficient to charge the cars. If the pilot project is successful, Deutsche Bank will start running electric cars at other locations as well.
