CR Willcocks, one of the South West's longest running farm machinery dealerships, has supplied Devon & Cornwall Police with a fleet of seven electric utility vehicles for the G7 Summit in Cornwall.

 
The dealership was approached by Devon & Cornwall Police back in April, with a request to hire eight electric side-by-side utility vehicles to support the police in their manoeuvres around the Carbis Bay beach area.
 
As a main dealer for Polaris, CR Willcocks say they assembled a fleet of Ranger EVs, at a time when Covid-19 lockdowns has put a strain on machinery production. As it was, due to logistics, they fell just one short of the requested eight electric vehicles - however the offer was accepted of one Ranger Diesel too.

 
Stephen Retallick, dealer principal at CR Willcocks, said, "Polaris have been excellent in helping us supply this fleet of electric UTVs to help Devon & Cornwall Police keep the G7 leaders secure."
 
He added, "As more and more farmers and landowners go green, our involvement in the G7 Summit will raise awareness around the availability of electric off-road vehicles even more. It has already piqued the interest with a number of our existing customers as they become more environmentally conscious."
