Isuzu D-Max EV demonstrates capabilities at VoltWorx26

The Isuzu D-Max electric vehicle (EV) featured at VoltWorx26, an event organised jointly by Isuzu dealer Crawfords Group in Chelmsford and Plumpton College in East Sussex. 

The EV pick-up offers over a one-tonne payload as well as permanent four-wheel drive and 3.5 tonne towing capacity.

Delegates went on test drives with Crawfords Group Isuzu, West Sussex, and discussed features such as lower running costs, ecologically considerate and quiet performance, and the tax efficiencies of an electric pick-up, including lower benefit-in-kind company car tax./

With a focus on sustainability, guests networked and enjoyed keynote presentations from the Energy Saving Trust and Brighton and Hove FC.

Panel discussions and breakout sessions explored industry perspectives on sustainability and the adoption of electrified vehicles and machinery.

Topics included charging infrastructure, total cost of ownership, workforce skills and the practical implementation of new technology.

Alan Able, managing director of Isuzu UK, said: “We’re delighted the new Isuzu D-Max EV continues to receive a high level of interest at events like this following its launch this year, with our zero-emission pick-up now being delivered to customers within diverse environments where sustainability, low operating costs and tax efficiencies are sought after.

“Congratulations to Crawfords Group on their initiative in organising an event such as VoltWorx26.”
