You will find increasing numbers of new and used battery electric trucks and vans for sale on these pages. As the deadline for finishing the sale of fossil fuel (diesel & petrol) commercial vehicles approaches, increasing numbers of new electric truck and van deals are becoming available and are listed on these pages. The early leader in electric truck sales is Volvo, although DAF, with their dominant market position in the UK is likely to take the lion’s share of the new electric truck market here.

If you are thinking of buying a new electric commercial vehicle, remember to check for government incentives and grants to make the upfront capital investment more palatable.
