Greens opted to retire its aging 2.5-tonne diesel truck and switch to an electric vehicle. The company approach Malcolm West and the two businesses decided on the Mitsubishi EDIA EX as the best option.
Malcom West sales executive, Phil Hawksley, says: “There are real advantages for businesses making the switch to electric—especially on a site where a clean environment isn’t just desirable, it’s essential.
“For starters, you eliminate fume issues, but also, the lack of airborne emissions ensures stock and equipment are clean, too.”

The forklift boasts weatherproofing capabilities, thus allowing Greens to use the machine in all weathers.
Richard Jackson, purchasing manager for Greens, comments: “We used to spend around £30 per week on diesel. Now that has gone, we only have to charge the new electric once every two weeks, so our running costs have fallen dramatically.”
