Reesink UK has launched a new division dedicated solely to electric utility vehicles.

Named Reesink e-Vehicles, it introduces to the UK Star EV and its range of lithium and sealed battery-powered utility vehicles. The range features 28 units, including golf buggies and small, medium and large capacity electric UTVs for carrying materials, and people carriers for 4–22 people.

David Cole, managing director of Reesink UK, said, "We’re focused on introducing battery-powered machinery options to the UK turfcare market. Such products have been extremely well-received and this is the direction of travel for environmentally friendly technology at the moment, one we recognise will only gain more traction.

"The globe is focussed on reducing fuel consumption and heading towards electric transportation as the next transitional step. There simply has to be the choice to buy electric and we identified a gap in our offering for a comprehensive range of electric utility vehicles to complement the Toro Workman GTXe we have just rolled out here in the UK.”

David explained why the company chose to partner with Star EV, who they first encountered at BTME 2020. He said, "We were looking for an electric range with rapid charge, a good mileage per charge, an extensive warranty - up to six years on batteries - along with the usual no more emissions and no more pollution stance. It’s no surprise that Star EV is an award-winning company in the USA and we’re excited to partner with them.”
 
Jane Zhang, CEO and owner of Star EV Corporation, added, “Star EV Corporation is delighted to be partnering with Reesink, under their new EV division, with an exclusive agreement for the UK and Ireland.

"Star looks forward to Reesink delivering to its customer base a fantastic range of ever evolving, and world-renowned electrical vehicles, growing both our brands.”
