Is 2017 The Year To Update Your Fleet to Hybrid or Pure Electric?

02 October 2017

Electric vehicles seem like a modern day advancement in transportation.

It’s just it took until recently for them to become feasible and in high enough demand — what with the costs of running petrol and diesel vehicles rising, the scale of charging infrastructure expanding,...
