Edge Hill University purchase first E-Z-GO 14-seater in UK
Edge Hill University in Lancashire has purchased the first E-Z-GO 14-seater shuttle bus to be sold in the UK.
Local dealer Sharrocks supplied the shuttle bus, as well as nine Cushman Hauler Pro vehicles for navigating the 160-acre campus.
Launched this year, the E-Z-GO Shuttle Bus is a 14-seater electric vehicle that is designed to easily transport people around facilities. With a quiet and smooth 72V AC drive train the E-Z-GO Shuttle Bus can operate in indoor and outdoor spaces.
“The new shuttle is totally electric, which means there aren’t any engine emissions, and there is also a reduction in noise pollution,” Fleet Administrator Andy Timon said.
“The charge lasts a full day and performs consistently across the different terrains we have on site. As well as complementing our environmental pledge, the shuttle gives a great first impression to visitors and students alike. We pride ourselves on providing the best facilities and learning environment around, and the new E-Z-GO shuttle bus is the latest addition to the University’s ongoing investments.
“Thank you to Sharrocks for supplying us with the shuttle bus as well as the new Cushman vehicles. We have been very impressed with the level of service and product knowledge of the staff at Sharrocks and look forward to continuing our strong relationship moving forwards. We are very proud to be the first institution to own an E-Z-GO 14-seater Shuttle Bus in the UK.”
Edge Hill University is based in Ormskirk, close to Liverpool and Manchester. The campus has also been recognised as one of the world’s best green spaces for the seventh year in a row, achieving another Green Flag award.
