Based in Cranbrook, family-run engineering and agricultural machinery dealer NP Seymour Ltd required a pick-up - strong enough to take on any challenge. Fitted with off-road tyres and a Truckman top with a 3.5 - tonne towing capacity making light work of even the heaviest kit, the legendary Hilux proved the perfect solution.
When the owners of Alkmonton Dairy, chose to replace diesel vans with electric Proaces to deliver milk, butter and cream to almost 1000 doorsteps, cafés, pubs and farm shops, they soon discovered the benefits. As well as being more appealing to their environmentally conscious customers and helping to future-proof their operations, the vans - which cover 800 miles over six days - are costing about £180 to charge per month – whereas their previous diesel vans cost around £600 a month to refuel.
