First eHGV supplied to Pall-Ex Logistics

Supplied by Allports Group, the curtain-sided vehicle with tail-lift was provided with a Zenobē charger and can be fully charged within six hours.

Allports Group MD Paul Sanders said: “The selection process was consultative from the very beginning and Allports will continue to provide additional support to Pall-Ex Logistics with driver training and telematics.”

Allports said it was supporting customers in understanding their net zero objectives and consulted on every stage of decarbonised acquisitions, advising on which contracts and applications were most suitable to suit all charging, routeing, driver training and infrastructure requirements.

“We walk clients through the entire process to ensure that electric vehicles fit seamlessly into their existing operations,” Sanders added.

“Moving to electric vehicles today puts Pall-Ex Logistics ahead of the curve in becoming climate change leaders.

“It also means that both Allports and Pall-Ex Logistics benefit from vital understanding about the vehicles in real-world application.

“However, decarbonisation creates many questions for some operators, which is why we support them with a complete consultancy package to ensure they make the best possible choices and set themselves – and their electric vehicles – up for success.”

Paul Pegg, MD at Pall-Ex Logistics, said: “We are delighted to be running our first electric vehicle at Pall-Ex Logistics, an important step forward as we work to decarbonise our palletised freight deliveries.

“The support that Allports Group has provided throughout the process has been fantastic and we are excited to explore the vehicle’s potential.”
