⚡ World EV Day 2026 | Taking the first step towards a greener future
We recently visited Auchinlea Tyres and caught up with Donna to hear about their experience with their Renault Trucks Trafic E-Tech Van.🔋⚡
For Auchinlea Tyres, making the move to electric was part of a wider ambition to become more eco-friendly, and it’s clear that this is just the beginning.
The journey to finding the right vehicle was a real collaboration between Donna and Karen - Renault Trucks Scotland LCV Sales Executive, taking the time to understand what Auchinlea Tyres needed from a van and finding the right fit for their business.
Donna described the Trafic E-Tech as a “dream to drive”, with the power being something that has really impressed them. They’re currently using it as a pool van, meaning it’s regularly out visiting customers, and it’s certainly getting noticed!
👀 The striking branding really stands out on the road, with the wrap designed and fitted by CubeWraps - Commercial Vehicle Branding Specialists and customers have already been commenting on how good it looks.
But it’s not just about looks. After just one month, Auchinlea Tyres have already noticed a saving on their fuel costs from having their first EV van in the fleet.
As part of their commitment to a greener future, they’re also investing in new fast-charging infrastructure on site, with the hope that this Renault Trucks Trafic E-Tech is the first step towards a more diverse and sustainable fleet.
It was fantastic to hear such positive feedback and see first-hand how businesses are taking practical steps towards electrification. 🌱
A huge thank you to Donna and everyone at Auchinlea Tyres for taking the time to share their experience with me, and to Karen for working closely with Donna to find the right solution for their business.
If you're considering whether an electric van could work for your business, why not start the conversation? Karen would be delighted to discuss your operation, understand your requirements, and help you explore whether a Renault Trucks E-Tech vehicle could be the right fit for your fleet.
Sometimes the first step is the biggest one.⚡
