The event takes place this week at Birmingham’s NEC and Bradshaw is showcasing its zero-emission Goupil light commercial road vehicles, which are all road legal and ideally suited to operate within low- and zero-emission zones, cities and towns.

All vehicles within the range also have the benefit of being able to be charged via a typical three-pin plug socket, negating the need for investment into charging infrastructure.

Goupil G4s on the Bradshaw stand include a refuse collection vehicle (RCV) that offers a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional refuse collection methods. Equipped with an aluminium body and a robust bin lift system, it’s designed for satellite operations, efficient discharging of waste into larger collection vehicles, streamlining waste collection rounds, and reducing overall time on the streets.

The second vehicle on show is the Goupil G4 box van, kitted out with a racking system, dubbed the Vario3, in collaboration with vehicle conversion and racking specialist Bott.

The full Goupil G4 line-up includes pickups, vans and waste collectors, all designed to transport people and equipment for a variety of different applications. With an operational range of 101 miles and maximum speed of 31mph, the G4s can be equipped with an array of body types to cater to customers’ specific requirements and feature a safe and secure cabin as well as both left- and right-hand-drive options.

Ramsy Labassi, marketing manager at Bradshaw Electric Vehicles, commented: “These versatile vehicles have become a popular choice for waste management and refuse collection in both public and private sectors, with their compact size, low speed and modular chassis enabling a wide range of applications.

“We ultimately understand the challenges that local authorities and waste management companies face in congested urban areas; as such we have aimed to tailor the Goupils to the customer’s individual requirements in order to specifically address those concerns.”
