A SPECIALIST electric vehicle manufacturer has launched a new range of vehicles that it is importing from Italy.

The vehicles are designed for urban transport use in waste management, recycling schemes, street cleaning and amenity site management.

The company called John Bradshaw, based near Peterborough, will import and distribute the vehicles which, it says, comply with UK road-going specification and certificate of conformity.

Company sales director Adrian Woodward said: 'This range of vehicles offers a successful combination of electric motive power and road-going performance covering widely differing applications.'
