New launch from Reesink e-Vehicles

October 1, 2021/in News, Press Release/by Rosie Duckworth

New launch from Reesink e-Vehicles: Representing the future of the turfcare industry and on stand K078 at SALTEX will be a selection of Reesink e-Vehicles’ new range of battery-powered machines.

Leading the electric line-up is the Capella load carrier from award-winning brand, STAR EV. For those looking for a quiet, comfortable and emissions-free utility buggy for their customers, the Capella fits the bill. This lithium-powered utility vehicle represents a range of 28 lithium and sealed battery-powered utility vehicles from STAR EV, available from Reesink e-Vehicles, which includes electric passenger buggies and small, medium and large capacity electric UTVs and people carriers for up to 23 people. All come with a rapid charge, good mileage per charge, and an extensive warranty – up to six years on batteries.

Joining this will be the industry’s first electric tractor from Reesink’s Agricultural division, the 25hp FT25G from Farmtrac. Featuring a 72V lithium-ion battery and onboard charger, this worthy alternative to a diesel-powered tractor can be charged from any domestic socket to 100 percent in eight hours. It created a big stir in the market when it launched and since then the range of options available has been increased to make it even more useful in a host of year-round applications and even more worthy of a stand visit, if that were possible!

Launching at the show will be RECO eTrac, an electric tool carrier from Royal Reesink, Reesink e-Vehicles’ parent company. With zero emissions and a choice of different battery packs, this innovative addition to the electric market can be used for a wide range of applications including weed brushing.

On stand ready to introduce this new range will be Dave French, Reesink e-Vehicles’ new electric vehicle expert. He says: “Wherever you are and whatever sector you’re in, the ability to work more quietly, earlier and for longer will be an advantage. With this comprehensive range of golf and passenger buggies, together with a wide offering of all-terrain from Reesink e-Vehicles, it’s easy to see the scope, potential and commercial benefits electric power will bring to the market.”

Leading technology, world-class innovation, breadth of range, strong value proposition and peak performance, Reesink e-Vehicles has more choice than ever before. Pop along to stand K078 to find out more.
