Scots dealership earns EV award

A SCOTTISH car dealership has received a prestigious award for its continued efforts in striving towards a zero-emissions future.

Camerons Volvo, on Arran Road North, Perth, has received the Electric Vehicle Accreditation (EVA) from the National Franchised Dealers Association (NDFA) for promoting more sustainable transport options.

The accreditation recognises how the retailer has educated local people about the gradual move towards electric vehicles ahead of the Government’s plan to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.

The award is only given after thorough checks of staff knowledge and facilities by the Energy Saving Trust and the NDFA.

Camerons Volvo retailer director Norman Leishman said: “This EVA recognises our expert knowledge, capability and commitment to electric vehicles and the low emissions we all want to see on our roads.

“This reassurance to customers is guaranteed by the extensive training all team members must undertake to demonstrate a solid understanding of all electric and hybrid models.

“Our aftersales and technical staff have received extensive training to ensure that customers receive a personalised and thorough approach during their switch to an electric vehicle, from choosing the right model to ensuring it remains in showroom condition long after it leaves the forecourt.”

NFDA chief executive Sue Robinson added: “Congratulations to Camerons Volvo on receiving their EVA, which recognises their expertise in the sector.”
