The Republic Motor Vehicle Company was an American manufacturer of a pickup truck with electric drive , which was offered only 1,902th

description

J. Fallis Linton was the head of the operation and was based at 322, 3rd Avenue, Minneapolis , Minnesota . It was actually an automobile agency. In 1901 she received the order to manufacture five electric vans for delivering mail. As early as January 1902, Linton had to sign a contract with the Minneapolis tram company to distribute mail because the items ordered did not arrive.

It can be assumed that the five vehicles were eventually built. However, nothing has been handed down from other electric vehicles from the Republic Motor Vehicle Company.
