ProGreen delivers refrigerated EVs to Bettys

Prohire’s sustainable vehicle hire and alternative fuels division, ProGreen, has delivered Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate’s first refrigerated EVs.

Commissioned by the owners to support the transition from diesel to electric vehicles, as part of a decarbonisation strategy, ProGreen delivered two bespoke, all-electric temperature-controlled vans, purposely designed for Bettys craft bakery.

Whereas previously each individual tray needed to be removed one at a time by the bakers, the new refrigerated EVs feature a tail lift to safely and efficiently lower the trolleys containing all of the trays of delicious cakes, pastries and treats, in one go.

Paul Farr, Bettys product director, said: “From the outset, Prohire took time to understand our specific needs, particularly the importance of maintaining our product quality during transit, and we are pleased to now see these bespoke vehicles out and about in Yorkshire. Our family business has a long commitment to protecting our planet, and these new vehicles are a positive next step in our approach to reducing our impact on the environment.”
