Bradshaw EVs leads the way where good air quality matters most

The pages of most transport magazines nowadays are full of news about new electric vans and trucks coming to the UK in the months and years ahead. But for firms that need zero emission utility vehicles right now, from an already trusted and trusted firm, one name stands out – that of Bradshaw EV.

Based near Peterborough in the east midlands, Bradshaw EV traces its beginnings to the 1960s, when John Bradshaw set up a plant hire company. A company spokesman told us: “We have continuously expanded our product range to cater to various industries, including logistics, waste management and hospitality.

“Our company has grown over the years and is now recognised as one of the leading industrial and commercial electric vehicle manufacturers in the UK. With a team of highly skilled engineers and technicians, we are committed to delivering top-quality vehicles that meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency.”

In addition to Bradshaw’s own vehicles, the firm is also the official UK distributor for Goupil. Goupil offers a lineup of all-electric, zero-emission light commercial road vehicles ideally suited for low-emission zones, city centres and towns. These vehicles are well suited for stop-and-go. Goupil, a subsidiary of Polaris Inc, has been a global leader in electric vehicle manufacturing for over 25 years.

The Goupil G2 and G4 models perfectly balance sustainable, environmental and economic functionality in an electric light commercial vehicle. With their innovative design, they are specifically tailored to meet the diverse needs of industrial and commercial operations.

Goupil EVs are entirely electric, resulting in zero emissions. This makes them an environmentally-friendly choice for towns, cities, low-emission and Ultra Low Emission Zones.

The G2 and G4 models offer exceptional versatility, making them ideal for various industries and applications. Whether it's waste collection, watering, leaf collection, leisure, or logistics, these vehicles can be highly customised to suit any task.

With a wide range of body options, battery technology, and battery sizes, you can effortlessly tailor these vehicles to meet the unique requirements of each job. One of the prominent features of the Goupil range is its single-phase onboard charger, which eliminates the requirement for costly or specialised charging infrastructure.

Goupil vehicles can be plugged into any standard 230-volt domestic socket. This feature makes it an ideal electric utility vehicle solution for businesses and local councils that do not have access to dedicated charging stations.
