Electric tips from CityFort

Electric Powered Solutions have issued their new price list for the CityFort zero emission electric van and truck vehicles. Several different body options are available on the base chassis, which is priced at £19,150 plus VAT, to suit a very wide range of uses such as in and around shopping centres for recycle waste and rubbish collection. The electric tipping body is also ideal for councils, contractors and landscapers for silent working in grounds maintenance and around parks, amenity and leisure areas.

Built on a lightweight aluminium frame, the CityFort with electric tipping body and sides is available for a little over £22,000 plus VAT, making it a very reasonable workhorse given the extremely low running costs and its environmentally friendly operation. The 48v electric engine has enough power to carry a 530kg payload and on a full charge it can travel up to 80 miles. The built-in charger is simply plugged in overnight, recharging the battery in eight hours.

The dimensions of the CityFort are such that it is ideal for narrow streets and drives and it can also be easily transported in a large van. In its fixed body version the vehicle is well suited for local delivery and site work, loading and carrying equipment and materials without fuss and the associated fuel costs of petrol and diesel vehicles. A box van body with double swing doors is also available with the option of a side door fitted.

The City Fort vehicles are congestion charge and road tax exempt, offering a viable eco-friendly solution to a wide range of tasks in and around the city and its environs. The vehicles are built in Europe and Electric Powered Solutions are the sole UK distributors. For details visit www.electricpoweredsolutions.co.uk or call 05600 759558.
