Electra EXchange - Watch this rusted terminal Shunter Tractor get stripped and rebuilt for the future.   Ports and logistics hubs are under increasing pressure to cut emissions, and diesel-powered terminal tractors are a major obstacle. But what if instead of scrapping these essential machines, we could give them a new lease of life - cleaner, more efficient, and future-ready? That’s exactly what we’re doing through the Electra Exchange Program. This terminal tractor has already been: ✅ Stripped of its diesel engine – No more emissions, breakdowns, or inefficiencies. ✅ Shot-blasted and primed – Preparing it for a complete electric transformation. ✅ Set up to become a fully electric demo vehicle – A real-world example of how ports and logistics operators can transition to zero-emission fleets without costly replacements. Why Now? Why Electric? Regulations are tightening Ports and logistics centres face growing emission reduction targets. Diesel isn’t built for the job anymore Stop-start operations kill engines, while EVs thrive in high-load, low-speed environments. Lower operating costs No diesel, no costly maintenance, no engine failures. Quieter, cleaner, and unrestricted – Can operate indoors, in warehouses, and in low-emission zones without issue. We Want Your Input This is just the beginning. What would you like to see from this demo unit? A low cab? Additional design tweaks? Let us know in the comments - we’re building this for the future, and your feedback will help shape it. The future of terminal tractors isn’t in the scrapyard - it’s in smart, strategic electrification. enquiries@electracommercialvehicles.com https://lnkd.in/dHCpPsZ #ElectraExchange #TerminalTractors #ZeroEmissions #FleetElectrification #PortLogistics #Warehouseinnovation

Electra’s Role in the UK’s First Megawatt V2G Charger   Electra is proud to support the UK’s first megawatt Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) charger from Project EV, developed with Islington Council and backed by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero and Innovate UK. This innovative system enables fleets to:   - Cut Costs & Earn Revenue: Charge off-peak when electricity is cheaper and sell unused energy back to the grid during peak demand. - Improve Efficiency: Electra Commercial Vehicles Ltd typically use only half their battery capacity daily, keeping surplus power available for grid support without affecting operations.   Maintaining Battery Health  Occasionally reducing the battery to about 20% state of charge allows its cells to realign and balance. Recommended by our battery supplier, this simple step ensures long-term durability, efficiency, and better overall performance - helping businesses get the most from their Electra vehicles.   Driving Sustainability  By returning surplus energy to the grid, this V2G solution supports renewables, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and helps stabilise the energy system.   Discover how Electra and V2G technology can transform your fleet. enquiries@electracommercialvehicles.com (+44) 01254 784 093 To read more: https://lnkd.in/e8t5Cutq #v2gtechnology #megawattcharging #EnergySecurity #NetZeroandInnovateUK #electracommercialvehicles
