Let that sink in… New Research from Compare the Market has revealed that electric vehicles – commonly known as EVs – are now, on average, about £580 cheaper to run than a petrol car – when you consider the cost of insurance, fuel, and road tax in the UK. In the electric van industry, however, things have never looked better.

In Baltimore USA, a Brightdrop EV Van set a world record just this week when it covered 258.85 miles on a single charge. Here at TOOLKiT, we are anticipating a manufacturer war as the prized electric vehicle marketplace is fought over.

Diesel Theft

There has been a spate of diesel fuel thefts over the past few weeks with companies of all sizes being hit by differing levels of theft. Recently, a Scottish Plant hire firm suffered a break-in during which two individuals filled barrels with fuel from a lorry. The owner of the company blamed the recent UK Government Policy for removing the entitlement of the construction industry to use red diesel and benefit from reduced levy on fuel.
