FAQ
What are utility vehicles used for?
Utility vehicles, also known as UTVs, are the ultimate multi-taskers. From site maintenance to landscaping, deliveries to security patrol, and waste collection, utility vehicles are a vital asset across various industries. Their ability to haul and tow small to medium loads, compact size, and exceptional manoeuvrability for navigating tight spaces make UTVs the go-to choice for getting the job done.
Road-legal UTVs can seamlessly travel between sites connected by roads, expanding their usage and capabilities for greater convenience.
Can you tow with an Electric Utility Vehicle?
Yes, you can tow with an electric utility vehicle. These versatile vehicles are equipped with robust motor systems to haul trailers, auxiliary equipment, and other cargo easily and efficiently. Their impressive performance and torque output make them perfect for towing and transporting materials, finished goods, waste, commercial bins, and more.
The Goupil G2 and G4 UTVs are road-approved and can handle towing loads on public roads. The G4 can tow up to 1,400 kg, and on private sites, it can tow an impressive 3,500 kilograms. Moreover, electric vehicles can operate in closed environments where petrol and diesel alternatives can't.
Goupil electric utility vehicles offer various towing eyes, pins, and hooks to cater to operational-specific needs.
Do utility vehicles need to be registered?
It depends on how you plan to use your utility vehicle. Registering is only necessary if you operate it on private land without any road usage. However, if you plan to drive your utility vehicle on public highways, you will need to register it as a 'Private Light Goods' vehicle (PLG). For more information about vehicle registration, contact our team on 01780 782 621 for guidance and assistance.
Do you need a driving licence to operate a utility vehicle?
To legally operate a utility vehicle on the road, you must have a car license or a category B license if it was obtained before January 1997.
To drive a particular type of vehicle, you need an ‘entitlement’ for that category on your driving licence; you should always check your licence against the vehicle’s specifications to ensure you are eligible.
Additionally, the vehicle must be taxed, insured, and meet safety standards to be used on public roads.
The vehicle will only be driven on private property. Do I still need a driving licence?
Under PUWER regulations, individuals operating machinery in their workplace must receive sufficient training, whether formal or informal and comply with the stipulations of their insurance provider. This is crucial to ensure safety, mitigate risks, and adhere to legal obligations.
Make the change to electric
Electric utility vehicles are an excellent choice for many reasons. Not only are they better for the environment with zero tailpipe emissions, but they also offer incredible efficiency and lower operating costs. Save on energy consumption and enjoy the lower cost of electricity compared to petrol and diesel. Plus, with fewer moving parts, maintenance costs are reduced, making them a wise investment. And let's remember the quiet operation, perfect for noise-sensitive environments.
