e-SCW: Our Fully Electric Vehicle Conversions

Looking for a greener transport solution? With our fully electric e-SCW conversions you don’t have to compromise on quality and you won’t miss out on our bespoke SCW touch!

The Maxus eDeliver 9

The Maxus eDeliver 9 is one of our most popular base vehicles for our fully-electric vehicle conversions. Recently we had the pleasure of converting another eDeliver 9 for a local authority’s new on-demand bus service. The innovative service can be utilised by everyone in the area and uses a specialist system to book and link up similar journeys with their fleet of accessible electric minibuses.

The Bespoke SCW Touch

With our e-SCW conversions, our aim is to ensure that our customers can still choose from a range of bespoke features. This local authority’s conversion featured:

  • Ricon interal tail lift

  • Removable seat fixings

  • Ambient colour changing roof lighting

  • Low-level blue LED lighting

  • USB / USBc charging sockets

  • Suedeflex centre roof panel with colourful features

  • Upper cant rail tracking with covers

  • Automatic side step

Meet Our Latest Coachbuilding Team!

Our newest trainee coachbuilder, Sean, will now be joining Craig in the workshop to help convert our bespoke wheelchair accessible vehicles.

Welcome to the Team!

Sean joined us last October and began working in our PDI team valeting and inspecting our vehicles before delivery. Recently, Sean changed role and is now learning to convert a variety of minibuses with one of our long-term experienced coachbuilders, Craig.

The SCW Team

Craig has been part of the SCW team for almost 15 years and has worked on a vast number of projects from accessible minibuses for local authorities to bespoke mobile barber shops! His wealth of conversion knowledge is perfect for teaching Sean a brand-new set of skills.
