NATIONWIDE Platforms has taken delivery of two new Volvo FM Electric 4×2 tractor units in what is believed to be a first for the UK’s powered access sector. The FM Electrics will be used to pull step frame trailers transporting hire equipment to and from sites in north west England.
James Clarke, haulage and logistics director of Nationwide Platforms said: “Volvo had the product that met our sustainability commitments.
“We need the electric trucks to cover up to 150 miles each day, whilst also providing enough power to drive our ancillary equipment.”
