Taking delivery of the first fully electric vehicle, a Volvo XC40 Recharge.
The environmental impact is important to Cambs Compressors
For years now, we at Cambs Compressors have battled to make our clients compressed air solutions more energy efficient. This isn't us banging just the green drum, but the practicalities of reducing waste. Waste energy, whether electric consumption through old, inefficient equipment, or poorly designed systems with air leaks. Working with the Carbon Trust and BCAS, we have consistently promoted greater energy efficiency and lowering the carbon footprint of our industry.
Electric vehicles are now a real alternative
Looking at what we can do within Cambs Compressors has always been a key focus. With electric vehicles for service engineers, being a key target to strengthen our green credentials. However, albeit a fast changing landscape, electric vehicles and the support infrastructure isn’t quite there yet for the commercial side. So our first venture into the electric vehicle area is a company car – the Volvo XC40 Recharge. With rave reviews on Top Gear and within the sector being reasonably priced, the new electric vehicle will mean lower emissions on client visits, surveys and audits. A great first step to converting all the fleet, when the range on commercials meets the practicality of our field engineers needs. It has also been a great advantage during the recent fuel shortage in the UK.
