Vehicle conversion specialist Etrux will launch a Ford E-Transit Welfare van at the 2024 CV Show next week.

Etrux with the new Ford E-Transit Welfare van

It’s the Antrim- and Birmingham-based company’s latest addition to its converted electric van range, ideal for construction, engineering, utility, film and mobile medical organisations, and will support companies with their work to go electric while maintaining day-to-day operations.

Gerard Galvin, Etrux managing director, said: “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. We are confident that our new Ford E-Transit vehicle range will offer companies a reliable solution to meet their needs and requirements.”

At the CV Show, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham from 23-25 April, Etrux will showcase its new fully electric welfare van while also celebrating its newly secured official Ford Pro Convertor status, which assures customers in both the UK and Irish markets that its vehicles are converted to the highest standards.

Etrux will also spotlight its charging infrastructure work with Weev plus its work to assist fleet managers in the journey from diesel to electric fleet via its EVolve programme. This offers a 360-degree solution for public authorities, vehicle operators and fleet managers to transition their commercial fleets from diesel to electric vehicles.

Gerard Galvin added: “There are a host of benefits to switching to electric vehicles and through EVolve, we want to demonstrate to fleet owners and transport managers across various sectors that the transition can be achieved with minimal stress and disruption to daily operations.

“Our expert team will work alongside our customers to guide them through the entire process, from conducting the initial feasibility study to the supply of the right product and finally, managing vehicle disposal at the end-of-life stage.”

Etrux will also spotlight its development of a new temperature-controlled E-Transit Trizone vehicle, which will service supermarkets and other perishable goods delivery services.
