Gary tests out the eActros

Wednesday 19th July 2023

Last weekend our Driver Trainer, Gary McMurray had the best day bringing the new fully electric eActros back from Dublin. The route took Gary through Dublin to the Dublin Docks and onto a ferry to Holyhead, then through thunderstorms to our Bolton site. Gary began the 191 mile journey after an overnight charge on a 20kw trickle charger. As he left the truck was on 99% charge and had a range of 581km.

After visiting a few touristy spots in Dublin, such as the Guinness factory (shame he was driving!) Gary headed to the port to get on the ferry back to Wales. He loaded up the eActros with many other trucks and set sail for Wales. After an overnight rest stop at Bolton so Gary could have a good nights sleep he started the next stage of the journey from Bolton to Wentworth Park with 56% and 171 miles range.

Gary reached his destination with 128 miles in the tank! Wow, from Dublin to Barnsley on a single charge, plus 128 miles and 41% charge left! Gary said his experience of driving the eActros was an incredible look at the future of trucks.

“It was the best driving experience of my life and I’ve been driving for 48 years! The range and recuperation on the truck was phenomenal. At times we used 10 miles of range to get up a hill on the motorway, but recuperated that 10 miles on the way down the hill!”

🚨 £1 BILLION GOVERNMENT FUNDING NOW AVAILABLE FOR ELECTRIC TRUCKS & VANS 🚨

The UK Government has announced a major £1 billion funding package to help businesses transition to zero-emission vehicles—making now the perfect time to go electric.

💡 What’s available?

✔️ Up to £81,000 off electric trucks (up to 40% of the cost)
✔️ Up to £5,000 off electric vans
✔️ Up to £1 million towards depot charging infrastructure (covering up to 70%)

This funding tackles the biggest barriers to going electric—high upfront costs and charging infrastructure—helping businesses reduce operating costs and protect against fuel price volatility.

 Whether you're running a single van or a full truck fleet, this is a huge opportunity to futureproof your business while saving money.

We like to think of everything.

With fuel prices on the rise, we thought we’d explore every possible option…
Even the ones with four legs. 🐴

Zero fuel. Zero emissions. No charging required. (Just the occasional carrot.)

A solution that’s reliable, eye-catching… and guaranteed to turn a few heads on the road.

Even cheaper than electric — and just as forward-thinking (in its own way).

At Ciceley Commercials, we’re always looking at smarter ways to keep your business moving…
…no matter the horsepower.
Please see our Easter opening hours for the upcoming weekend below.

We’ll be back open as normal from Tuesday, and remember—our Roadside Assistance team is available should you need us.
