Now, we have the equally unwelcome news of Volta Trucks filing for bankruptcy in Sweden and administration in England. Volta’s problems apparently triggered by the demise of its battery supplier – itself a blow to the development of electric powered trucks. Elsewhere, in China, electric vehicle manufacturers are considering consolidation in the face of increasingly fragile world markets.
In the meantime, Dawsongroup is taking a number of a major manufacturer’s electric rigids to enable our customers to trial the technology through Contract Hire, Leasing or Rental options.
Our view, that while there might be an easing of the Government deadline for HGVs following the five-year extension to 2035 for vans and passenger cars, early hands-on experience is always valuable for operators.
Why not get in touch with the team to find out how we can help?
