Vic Young Conversions boxes clever with innovative electric business strategy
As vehicle transportation radically moves toward a UK government-backed zero carbon agenda, leading North East motor dealer, Vic Young Conversions have positioned themselves as a pioneer in this field through their innovative design in business vehicle conversions.
While the number of electric cars for regular use is increasing, there is a considerable need for electric vehicles suited for trade & business purposes.
Vic Young Conversions is pioneering this through revolutionary conversions. This is achieved by adding and modifying components to create business usage and logistics vehicles that are low cost and fit for purpose in city environments.
The vehicle in question is the electric Nissan e-NV200 box van. The team at Vic Young Conversions have adapted a regular Nissan e-NV200 and transformed it into a fully electric, lightweight commercial box van.
The vehicle is the first of its kind in the UK market, with specification features such as: zero emissions, 575kg payload, low level entry and an 8.553 volume (an increase from the 3.9m3 on the standard eNV200).
The project complies with the government’s strategy to reduce the carbon footprint, which in turn makes it a valuable solution for companies looking to comply with emission regulations for delivery in cities, and ultimately create huge savings in tax and fuel costs as the electric box van pays no road tax and is ex- empt from the London Congestion and T Charges. After rigorous testing the vehicle is now available to buy at Vic Young Conversions. The vehicle is available with a number of options, such as a choice of rear closures, twin sided roller shutter suggestions and internal racking applications. Vic Young, Managing Director said: “This is an incredible achievement for us and I could not be more pleased with the team who brought this to fruition. We always look ahead with our conversion projects so that we can transform the market in new, exciting ways and I think the all-electric NV200 box van is evidence of this. I firmly believe that the market is ready to go all-electric with vehicles for trade and industry.”
