In today’s society, we face many social and environmental challenges.
As we see a rise in protests for greater economic and legislative action and a seeming increase in extreme weather conditions, it is essential to act now and make a sustainable future for our children.
In recent years, the automotive industry has made significant advancements in creating an eco-friendlier way for commuters to travel. Due to the UK’s ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030 (now postponed until 2035), affordable electric cars are now taking priority, offering greater sustainability and advancements in the industry.
However, it’s not just the commercial sector dedicated to achieving lower carbon emissions
Fire Brigade starts going EV
Emergency One, a Scottish-based company specialising in manufacturing Fire and Rescue Service appliances, has endeavoured to make the world’s first fully electric fire engine: EV0.
Their Goal
To produce “a low emission fire and rescue vehicle that exceeds the current appliance specification”.
To attain such a goal, Emergency One was in immediate need of a bespoke line of cable wire management products, that could withstand the high demands required by their new innovative creation; thus, they contacted Hilltop Products.
Being one of the principal UK stock holders of efficient and reliable cable management products, Emergency One contacted Hilltop Product’s to assist with the construction of the EV0. With guaranteed next-day delivery, Hilltop could comfortably supply them with all their niche needs.
Hilltop is both excited and honoured to have played a part in Emergency One introducing the first ever electric fire engine - the next evolution in the fire and rescue service.
EV0 matches current engine standards
EV0 is built to current standards and requirements, helping to integrate into current fire brigades seamlessly.
EV0 marks the next milestone of electric vehicles; this remarkable advancement in technology not only provides the emergency service sector with greener, carbon neutral alternatives, but also sets an example for all industry sectors to follow.
Hilltop is proud to contribute to the various pledges that Fire & Rescue Services have made to reduce their emissions and carbon footprint, and any customer wanting to invest in renewable alternatives, please get in touch with a member of our sales staff at [email protected] or by phone +44 (0)1942 723101 to enquire about our range of management cables.
