Ciceley’s First Electric Truck Sale — St Helens Leads the Way!

Monday 24th November 2025 Get our latest news into your inbox

We’re proud to announce a major milestone for Ciceley Commercials: the sale of our first fully electric Mercedes-Benz eEconic, secured by Municipal Specialist, Matt Riley, for St Helens Borough Council, in partnership with Faun-Zoeller UK Ltd, who will manufacture the body for the vehicle.

This landmark order marks the beginning of our journey in supporting local authorities and operators with zero-emission technology. St Helens are now among the first councils in the UK to invest in the future of municipal transport, choosing a cleaner, quieter and more sustainable way to keep their communities moving.

A huge well done to Matt and the Ciceley Truck team for securing this breakthrough sale, and to our partners at Faun-Zoeller UK Ltd for their collaboration in bringing this innovative solution to market.

Why the eEconic?

The all-electric eEconic is purpose-built for municipal work, offering:

Zero local emissions for cleaner air in residential areas
Quieter operation — ideal for early-morning collections
Low-entry cab and enhanced visibility improving crew safety and comfort
Energy-efficient performance in stop-start city driving

A Future-Focused Partnership

This first electric truck is just the start. Ciceley Commercials is committed to helping councils and operators transition to cleaner fleets with the right vehicles, specialised bodies, charging support and long-term service expertise.

Here’s to many more electric milestones ahead!

If you’re interested in learning more about switching to electric, please get in touch with the team at enquiries@ciceley.com or call 0333 014 6182.

It was a pleasure to welcome Richard Skidmore to our new Eurocentral dealership yesterday, on what was an incredibly significant day as he was announced as the new Managing Director of Daimler Truck UK.

Firstly, congratulations to Richard on his well-deserved appointment. With his extensive industry knowledge, strong leadership and deep understanding of both our network and our customers, there’s no doubt he is exceptionally well placed to lead Daimler Truck UK into its next chapter. Building on the strong growth and success achieved by Daimler Truck in recent years, we are confident Richard will continue to drive the business forward. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our partnership under his leadership.

Richard`s visit also provided the perfect opportunity to showcase the fantastic progress being made on our new £8 million, state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Daimler Buses dealership at Eurocentral.

The project is progressing exactly as planned, with the facility firmly on track for completion in October, ahead of welcoming our first customers in the first week of November. Each week brings us closer to opening what will be one of the UK’s most advanced commercial vehicle dealerships, delivering an exceptional experience for customers across Scotland and providing a first-class environment for our colleagues and manufacturer partners.

Thank you to Richard for taking the time to visit us during such an exciting week. We look forward to welcoming you back when the doors officially open.

What a fantastic day at our Ciceley golf day at @boltonoldlinksgolf ⛳

The weather may have tested us with a wet start, but once the skies cleared it turned into a brilliant day of golf, great company, and friendly competition.

We`re also delighted to have raised £535 for @eastlancshospice – a cause that means so much to our team and local community. A huge thank you to everyone who took part, donated, and helped make the day such a success.

Take a look at some of the highlights from a memorable day on the course! 🎥🏌️‍♂️💙
