Following a successful three-month trial of the FE Electric model earlier this year, Boughey decided to permanently introduce the vehicle to its fleet.
The vehicle – supplied by Thomas Hardie Commercials – is said to enable a range of approximately 120 miles on a single charge.
Powered by a dynamic twin electric motor system capable of generating 400kW power and up to 850Nm torque, the FE Electric comes with a 2-speed, 800Nm electric propulsion gearbox. Its energy storage traction system harnesses a 265 kWh total energy capacity across four integrated batteries, two on each side, which are said to ensure consistent power distribution and reliability.
Boughey transport operations director Neil Trotter said: “Our ambition to become greener is a company-wide initiative, and we will continue to strive to take steps towards making our business better for the environment and our planet. We have recently set out on a journey to become B Corp certified and the vehicle’s arrival has coincided with the submission of our initial B Impact Assessment which is currently in the evaluation queue.”
