Northpoint, a UK leader in powder coating and wet paint solutions, has upgraded its fleet with four EDiA EX electric trucks and one GRENDiA ES diesel truck. This delivery supports their operations in transporting high-value materials, crucial for maintaining their reputation and efficiency.
The investment in modern trucks addresses challenges such as uneven flooring and limited visibility in their busy warehouse. Dale Newton, Senior Logistics Manager, emphasized the importance of a reliable fleet to manage the 250 tonnes of materials shipped weekly, as older models were inadequate for their operational demands.
Northpoint's new fleet features advanced speed control and enhanced safety measures, contributing to a safer working environment. The electric trucks also align with the company's sustainability goals, utilizing energy from 740 rooftop solar panels to minimize emissions and support eco-friendly practices.
