    West Midlands council switches to electric ATVs

    Sandwell Council has worked with Ace ATV Ltd to replace its ATV fleet with two Paxter eCompact utility vehicles.

    The machines are fully road homologated, with a semi-open cabin. They are powered by large 10kWh 50v LiFePo4 electric batteries, with up to 3kW of additional charging power to power tools out in the field.

    It also features ample cargo space and a 240kg payload capacity.

    The two machines were delivered with low-volume sprayers from Nomix Enviro for herbicide applications.

    Paxter machines are imported into the UK and distributed to dealers through Boss ORV, with up to ten years of manufacturer warranty.
