Electric 18-tonne Test Drive Event Success

Monday 23rd September 2019

The UK’s only fully electric 18-tonne truck was put through its paces by fleet managers from across the country at a successful test drive event. 

The vehicle, which is the result of two years of collaboration between Electra Commercial Vehicles, Guest Truck and Van and IVECO, was put in the hands of representatives from major companies across the UK over a three-day test drive event, with an overwhelmingly positive response. 

The event was held at our base at the Sherwood Truck and Van, Winsford Industrial Estate, with all time slots snapped up in advance to see the urban drop-off vehicle. 

Sid Sadique, Chairman of Electra Commercial Vehicles, attended to help inform test drivers of the vehicle’s key features, alongside Guest Business Development Director Nick Pemberton.
