“The arrival of the electric truck is another exciting step forward for gm2 and its customers, in terms of doing what we can to reduce the company’s environmental impact

As the company converted to 100% renewable electricity in 2006, recharging of the trucks will also be carbon neutral”.
Peter Hockley, James McNaughton logistics manager

"Clients can now expect to see this eco-friendly vehicle both delivering and collecting packages from them using the latest technology. Giving 60 miles on a single charge this vehicle is a perfect fit to the fleet allowing quiet, economical & clean services to be provided to our clients.

This investment is the first stage in a commitment to reducing the company’s carbon foot print and supporting the environment in what is often renowned for not being green."

It’s the perfect environment to really put the Modec through its paces, whilst enjoying a range of additional benefits including a 100 per cent discount from the Congestion Charge.

"The Modec has been designed in a custom-livery sponsored by the Guardian – aimed at creating maximum impact on the road, whilst highlighting the vehicle’s environmental credentials."

HILDON

At Hildon Ltd we are committed to improving our environmental and social responsibilities by reducing our carbon footprint and supporting UK based good causes. The purchase of a Modec vehicle fits perfectly with our strategy by reducing our co2 emissions and allowing us to take a diesel powered HGV vehicle off the road. The Modec also offers us a quieter means of transport which is ideal for our home delivery service where we may enter into residential areas. We have been so impressed with Modec that we have now ordered a second one to compliment our fleet
