Vehicle conversion specialist Etrux has debuted its fully electric Ford E-Transit Trizone van at this year’s Commercial Vehicle show.

The E-Transit Trizone combines durability, strength and lightweight panels with high insulating qualities

Aimed at supermarkets and other perishable goods delivery services, the E-Transit Trizone combines durability, strength and lightweight panels with high insulating qualities.

Built and designed by the Etrux team, the vehicle is fully tested and comes fitted with a GAH refrigeration system, temperature controls, chilling capabilities down to zero degrees, efficient defrost and internal drainage to accommodate water runoff and spillages.

It’s the latest addition to the company’s converted electric van range. Part of the Jans Group, Etrux has a manufacturing facility in Antrim and a base in Birmingham – and was recently awarded the prestigious Ford Pro Convertor Status. The business also assists fleet managers in the journey from diesel to electric vehicles via its EVolve programme.

Gerard Galvin, Etrux managing director, said: “We are confident that this new vehicle will offer companies a reliable solution to meet their needs and requirements as well as presenting them with practical ways to reduce their carbon footprint.”

The company currently offers a range of electric vehicles, including the Ford E-Transit Welfare van, which comes equipped with an updated interior, alongside the Isuzu 7.5-tonne Magtec Luton van, and Galvin claims that the addition of the Trizone will enable the company to continue providing solutions for a huge range of sectors.

“At Etrux, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality vehicle solutions for a huge range of sectors, including construction, utility, film and television, haulage and medical, and with the addition of the Trizone, we can now cater to the supermarket and perishable goods delivery industries,” he added.

“Having a number of fully electric vehicles available also means that we can assist fleet and transport managers with achieving the Net Zero target and will play a key role in the UK Government’s ZEV mandate.

“Through our EVolve consultancy, we work closely with our customers to guide them through the entire process of switching from diesel to electric vehicles, from conducting the initial feasibility study right through to managing vehicle disposal at the end-of-life stage.

“We are all acutely aware of the lower running costs, reduced noise pollution, enhanced driving experience and the positive impact on the environment that moving to electric vehicles will offer and we’re providing the very best quality vehicles to help companies achieve this.”
