The Liverpool-based firm has been buying Volvos since 2003 and opted to go down the electric route having been hugely impressed with a demonstrator vehicle supplied by local dealer Thomas Hardie Commercials.
Peter Groves, Director at Kirkby Skips Ltd, says: “As a company we are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon emissions, while also helping our customers achieve their Net Zero targets.
“These new FE Electrics are ideal for our operations. The demonstrator was with us for a week and during that time it showed quite clearly that the range would be absolutely no issue, with our daily operations comfortably handled on one charge. The drivers were all very complimentary about the handling and performance too, and they are obviously far quieter to drive than the diesels they replace.”
Thomas Hardie Commercials is supplying the FE Electrics backed by a comprehensive Volvo Gold Contract, including proactive monitoring of the batteries and associated components.
