Successful CV Show for Connaught Engineering

The energy saving hybrid technology for light vans launched at the CV Show by Connaught Engineering proved to be a great success with the company reporting firm orders and unprecedented levels of interest from large national and international companies as well as small fleets operating throughout the UK.

The Connaught HYBRID+ delivers significant fuel savings and an equivalent percentage reduction in CO2 emissions and was being displayed to industry visitors at the CV Show for the very first time. A number of companies have already taken advantage of the system’s benefits including TESCO.COM, Balfour Beatty, Ridgeons and e.on. The technology was also showcased on the LloydsTSBautolease stand at the show where similar levels of interest were reported.

Connaught Engineering, based in South Wales, will increase production of the HYBRID+ units by 20% to take account of the demand created at the CV Show. The cost of installation is £2,750 per vehicle and can be fitted to all major van makes.
