Premier Motors supplies electric Ford van to Southern Vectis
Premier Motors helps Southern Vectis drive towards a greener future with new electric Ford van
Premier Motors is proud to support Southern Vectis on its journey towards more sustainable transport, supplying the Isle of Wight bus operator with a brand-new, all-electric Ford E-Transit Custom.
As part of its ongoing commitment to reducing emissions across the Island, Southern Vectis has replaced one of its existing diesel vans with the new all-electric Ford E-Transit Custom, marking another positive step in its transition towards a greener fleet.
The new vehicle will support Southern Vectis' day-to-day operations alongside its growing fleet of electric buses, helping the company further reduce its environmental impact while maintaining the practicality and reliability required for its daily activities.
Supporting local businesses with the switch to electric
The Ford E-Transit Custom brings together the practicality, versatility and dependability of the popular Transit Custom with the benefits of all-electric driving, including zero tailpipe emissions.
Designed to meet the demands of modern businesses, the E-Transit Custom is available in several configurations, including panel van, double-cab-in-van, Kombi and MultiCab. Whether transporting equipment, carrying passengers or supporting everyday business operations, the E-Transit Custom offers a flexible solution for a wide range of commercial requirements.
Premier Motors, part of Greenhous Group Ltd, has already helped several Isle of Wight businesses make the transition to electric vehicles and continues to support local organisations with a comprehensive range of Ford commercial vehicles and tailored fleet solutions.
Neil Gordon, Dealer Principal at Premier Motors, commented:
"Electric cars and vans are becoming increasingly popular with both private motorists and businesses. With rising fuel costs and a growing focus on reducing emissions, adopting renewable energy and introducing zero-emission vehicles, we're seeing more organisations make the switch to electric.
"As one of the Island's largest and most recognisable businesses, it's fantastic to see Southern Vectis continuing its transition to electric vehicles. We're extremely proud to support them on this journey by supplying their new E-Transit Custom, which will play an important role in their day-to-day operations."
A positive step for Southern Vectis
The addition of the new Ford E-Transit Custom reflects Southern Vectis' wider ambitions to introduce lower-emission vehicles across its operations, extending beyond its passenger bus fleet to the vehicles supporting its everyday activities.
Garry Furmidge, Engineering Manager at Southern Vectis, said:
"As we continue our transition towards lower-emission operations, it is important that the vehicles supporting our day-to-day activities evolve too. The new Ford E-Transit Custom is a practical addition to our fleet and will help support our wider sustainability ambitions. Premier Motors understood our operational requirements and supplied a vehicle that meets our needs, making this a positive addition to our fleet."
