As Modec zero emission light
commercial vehicles (LCVs), continue to become an increasingly
popular sight on UK roads, Hildon Ltd has become the first
Natural Mineral Water company to purchase and take delivery of a
Modec van. The vehicle has been integrated into Hildon Ltd’s
distribution fleet and will primarily be used for deliveries of
bottled water within the London area. In fact, Hildon Ltd is so
happy with its first Modec van it has already ordered a second.
Thanks to offering vehicles tailored to
suit specific customer requirements, Modec, Coventry-based manufacturer
of the world’s first zero emission LCV, has delivered Hildon Ltd a box
van with a raised floor and roof. This configuration enables a totally
flat floor with no wheel arch intrusions, ideal for the loading and
transportation of heavy, palletised products.
Debbie Jones, Environmental Manager for
Hildon Ltd said: “The Modec vehicle was purchased as part of our
continued drive to become more environmentally friendly, and to reduce
our carbon footprint. The success of this battery powered, emission
free vehicle has meant we have been able to take a diesel HGV off the
road. As to the future, we, as part of our environmental strategy, have
already placed an order for a second Modec vehicle, which will be in
operation later this year”.
Gordon Harvey, Modec Sales Manager,
said: “The Hildon Ltd vehicle is a great example of how we are able to
tailor our vehicles to suit our customer’s needs. We’re delighted that
we have been able to support Hildon Ltd’s wider CSR outreach and we look
forward to working together again in the future.”
