Cleaning firms, couriers and pharmacies tackle surge in demand

Commercial vehicle specialist Low Cost Vans has been helping these customers get extra vehicles on the road Amid the economic disruption and business closures caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19), some sectors of the economy are seeing a surge in demand. Many cleaning companies, delivery business and pharmacies have been inundated with new inquiries and additional work as the crisis has worsened, something that has also meant a brighter spot for companies that supply these sectors. Low Cost Vans , one of the UK ’ s leading providers of commercial vehicles to every sector of the UK economy, says it has seen a sharp spike in demand from these sectors, as companies struggle to meet the needs of customers. Rod Lloyd, Managing Director of Low Cost Vans, said: “These are unprecedented times for the UK economy but the fact is that many businesses have to keep moving. From certain sectors, the number of inquiries we are getting has doubled or even tripled. Cleaning companies,...

Swansea City win their first game wearing their new Low Cost Vans shorts

Image
Swansea City have won their first friendly of the 2018-19 pre-season, in what was also their first game in their new Low Cost Vans shorts. Coincidence? We think not! The Swans took on Yeovil at Huish Park, beating the hosts 2-1 with a last minute screamer from Matt Grimes. Low Cost Vans have backed our local football team for more than seven years, and are also the teams' Official Commercial Vehicle Partner. This year we've increased our partnership, and are now the shorts sponsor for the first team and the academy players as well. And now that the boys are off to a winning start, we hope they can keep the momentum going into their European pre-season tour and the start of the Championship season in August.

Full Charge Ahead

Image
Honda promises Electronic Vehicles (EV's), that charge in 15 minutes by 2022. Currently most 30 minute charges, re-charge to about 80%. Drivers seeking to transition to an EV will be pleased of the governments vast investment into strengthening the provisions of electric charge points across the UK. In order to meet a faster charge duration, Honda are looking to create a new battery collaboration. They hope faster charging and longer driving ranges will make the EV market more appealing and accessible to mass market. I wonder how many other manufacturers will heed the faster re-charge race and have faster charge times in future? It certainly seems the EV market will be fast expanding in the next seven years, past 2022 towards other 2025 targets.

Follow the Drone Code

Image
UK drone users are likely to have to sit drone tests when new legislation comes into place next year. The proposed bill - set to be published March 2018 - suggests owners of drones weighing more than 250g will have to register and sit a test. In the meantime - THE DRONE CODE - already exists. Failure to fly responsibly may result in criminal prosecution. What do you think with regards to drone delivery future and van roof-top drone stations?

Lights, Camera, Action: We’re going to be on TV!

Most of us know what it’s like to sit in a really big job interview. We start worrying if we’ll talk too much, or worse, if there’s lipstick on our teeth (the thing nightmares are made of). We worry that our palms will be sweaty, and that our handshake will be too weak. There’s so much that can go wrong even before an interview starts, and the pressure is on to perform. In case you haven’t seen our social media feeds lately, we’re very excited that Low Cost Vans will be appearing in a brand new documentary, airing on Channel 4 this Tuesday July 12. If you’re feeling curious, here’s the  trailer . As you can imagine, we’re all pretty excited about this. Our offices were absolutely buzzing when we heard that we were hand selected to appear on the show, and although filming seems like it would be pretty chaotic, it was a great experience.  None of us really knew what to expect, so we were a little nervous, but it turned out to be such a fun experience for our staff. Cameras immediately pu...
