Electric vehicle company Nice Car Company says around one in five serious leads at the recent British Motor Show were from visitors interested in buying light commercial vehicles.

"The Motor Show is a consumer exhibition so cars took centre stage on our stand," said co-founder Evert Geurtsen.

"We were surprised by the significant interest shown in our growing range of commercial vehicles. In the next few weeks we'll be following-up our leads.

"We'll also start making plans for a bigger presence at next year's Commercial Vehicle Show."
