Two new Isuzu D-Max Electric Vehicle pickups have been delivered to Sheffield-based MHH Contracting, a family-owned company working in the waste removal and recycling field. The two D-Max EVs are among the first to arrive with customers, especially in Europe.

MHH director Rachel Woodhouse-Hague said the new EV pick-ups suit the company’s plans to future-proof its vehicle strategy. “We’re excited by the new D-Max Electric Vehicle and to be one of the first organisations to acquire them,” she said. “The EVs fit with our sustainable waste management ethos, and clients and staff across our private and public enterprises relate to our ambitions for shrinking our carbon footprint.”

The very first Isuzu D-Max Electric pickups

“We have more than 20 pick-up vehicles and 40 LGVs within our various businesses and anticipate expanding our EV fleet. The new Isuzu EV pickup’s capabilities with five-year, 125,000-mile warranty mean the D-Max EVs will be with us for the long haul!”, she added.

“MHH Contracting’s management were impressed by the new Isuzu D-Max EV as soon as it was announced,” added Jamie Taylor, RN Golden’s Isuzu Sales Manager. “It has all the rugged good looks of the Isuzu D-Max but is available as a fully electric vehicle for the first time. This is a game-changer for businesses who want an emissions-free pick-up with all the capabilities for which the Isuzu D-Max is recognised”. First production EVs in UK combine over one-tonne payload and 3,500kg towing capacity.
