Yorkshire Bank fuels electric commercial vehicles growth 04 February 2011

ePower Trucks, which saw sales grow 55% last year, with its electric trucks and utility vehicles, has secured £1million funding package from Yorkshire Bank.

Oldham-based company, which supplies to sectors from local authorities to health trusts, intends to expand its range with the Alke XT series of 3.5-tonne electric LCVs, which has a range of 120 miles on a single charge, fast-swap battery pack and a price tag of £30,000.

"We are constantly striving to supply the broadest range of electric vehicles in the UK and this working capital facility supports our ongoing growth and expansion," comments ePower Trucks managing director Jerry Hanss.

"Our new range of electric vans is providing a viable alternative to conventional counterparts, as the move towards cleaner air in our towns and cities continues," he adds.
