The Road Transport Expo was back at NAEC Stoneleigh for its second year running this week, bringing together fleet operators, industry experts, suppliers and manufacturers. There was a strong emphasis on green technology, and it was great to see the vital steps that the transport industry is taking to support and adopt greener transportation methods. Switching to alternatively fuelled vehicles is particularly challenging but essential for fleet operators whose efforts have the power to minimise the impact of climate change on our planet greatly. Original ADS are proud to be amongst those organisations supporting those wanting to switch to electric with pioneering solutions that can provide a backup for electric vehicles that may run out of charge before reaching a static charging point.
It is no secret that range anxiety is one of the biggest obstacles hindering fleets’ ability to switch to EVs. For example, according to a Monthly Market Intelligence report published by Auto Trader in April this year, 49% of those unwilling to consider an electric light commercial vehicle (LCV) have range anxiety concerns. Thereby making vehicle range the most significant barrier for LCV buyers switching to electric.
Unlike any other solutions currently on the market, Original ADS’s Charge Pod and Genset can provide on-demand and continuous power without recharging it– as you would with a portable battery. Powered by a purpose-built ultra-lightweight and compact 10kW generator, these solutions are lighter and more power dense than any else currently on the market – essential attributes for fleets where space and payload cannot be compromised. We are delighted to report that Business Journalist Lucy Tunnicliffe and International Business Development Manager Betsi Fuenmayor had extremely positive responses about the solutions and were very excited to be part of a fantastic event.
