e-SCW: South West Council Goes Green!
For those looking to incorporate greener transport solutions into their organisation, we have proudly designed the e-SCW range of fully electric vehicle conversions. Built on a variety of chassis, including the Ford eTransit, each conversion is tailored to meet our customer’s specific requirements. Our e-SCW conversions reflect a forward-thinking approach to mobility, combining zero-emissions with the premium finish and bespoke design that Stanford Coachworks is known for.
Local Authority’s First Fully Electric Minibus!
Recently we had the pleasure of working with a local authority based in the South West of England, to introduce their first fully-electric minibus. Based on the Ford eTransit, this zero-emission vehicle will operate as part of the local authority’s on-demand bus service, offering flexible, app-based booking for residents across rural areas of the county. With full wheelchair accessibility, the new minibus is available to all.
The e-SCW Conversion
This Ford eTransit conversion can transport up to 10 passengers plus driver, and includes 8 wipe clean removable rear passenger seats, allowing space for 2 wheelchair users when removed. The vehicle also features an underfloor tail lift with DoorSafe automatic barrier for passenger protection, an automatic LED illuminated side step, blue / white interior lighting and a wheelchair restraint storage box. For the full specification, please see below.
