MAN Launch New Electric Van
As businesses have become more and more concerned with their impact on the environment, it should come as no surprise that they are looking at their vehicle fleets to ensure that they are producing as little carbon as possible. With that, we have seen a definitive move towards businesses looking into electric vans to replace any Diesel vans that they have in their fleet. At Aquila Truck Centres we are addressing this demand for electric vans with our relationship with MAN. MAN is now selling a fully electric van, another step forwards in the direction of zero-emission metropolitan areas. The MAN eTGE will meet the demand for future distribution and freight transport in urban areas with its electric motor. This is particularly crucial in the area we service as a number of cities, such as Birmingham, Coventry and Gloucester looking at creating clean air zones in the near future. In order for businesses operating in these locations, it's vital to change to electric vans to help move towards a carbon neutral environment and to save on excess charges for using diesel vans in these zones.The eTGE comes will all the benefits of the award winning MAN TGE, which was voted Honest John's Large van of 2019, and comes with the excellent customer service you would come to expect from an MAN.
