Flooring company adopts electric Mercedes-Benz van
Date: Tuesday, April 12, 2022 | Author: Sean Keywood
An electric Mercedes-Benz eVito van has been taken on for delivery purposes by Brighton-based flooring provider La Boutique du Parquet.
The company, which offers a range of traditional and modern wooden parquet flooring, had the van supplied via the Worthing branch of Rossetts Commercials.
Company founder Ian Churchman said: “The eVito’s 92-mile range is more than sufficient for deliveries in and around Brighton and Hove, and the excellent public charging network in the area means it’s always easy to find somewhere to top up the battery if necessary.
“The infrastructure in this part of the world makes operating an electric van a particularly attractive prospect.”
Research by Mercedes-Benz Vans UK is said to have found that 90% of Brighton-based SMEs were actively considering a switch to electric vehicles.
Churchman added: “There’s a burgeoning electric vehicle ‘scene’ along this part of the south coast and I’ve already taken the eVito to a couple of weekend meets, where it has generated a lot of interest.
“I believe firmly that we should all be doing everything we can to minimise harm to the environment, and the home-owners that we work for seem to agree. I’ve had some very positive feedback about my eVito – customers certainly appreciate our efforts to be as ‘green’ as we can.”
