Chilled food supplier Reynolds has turned to Fraikin as it embarks on a long-term electrification strategy across its commercial vehicle fleet, with the company's first of a planned 24 all-electric trucks already delivering significant emissions savings. Signed to a five-year, full-service contract hire agreement, the new 7.5-tonne temperature-controlled rigid features an Isuzu chassis adapted by electric drivetrain specialist Magtec, with a bespoke body from Paneltex. Joining a 212-strong mixed commercial vehicle fleet, the new truck replaces an older diesel asset on multi-drop delivery routes around Bristol and Bath. Over the next three years, the plan is for it to be joined by a further 23 electric vehicles, ranging from 4.5-tonne vans up to a 37-tonne DAF tractor unit. |
