The centre will feature a range of charging points with the option to install bespoke units for individual manufacturer specifications, as well as specialist bodyshop and workshop technicians equipped with electric vehicle bays.

Neil Burrows, group sales and marketing director said:  ‘This year, more manufacturers are bringing electric vehicles into their press and demonstration fleets and their presence in the sector will increase as fleet managers and business buyers need to evaluate new products as they come onto the market. 

‘Because of this, Paragon is investing in specialist training and facilities to embrace emerging technologies so that these vehicles can be effectively managed on behalf of fleet owners.  We want to demonstrate that, with the right technical expertise, electric vehicles can be maintained and remarketed as easily as traditional vehicles.’
