HISUN UTVS IN ACTION
WILLOW GROVE FARM, LAKENHEATH, SUFFOLK A family-owned farm purchased in 2021, Willow Grove offers grazing for resting racehorses, grazing of sheep and cutting for hay. In response to a growing demand for staycations, they introduced a glamping sanctuary. They purchased a HiSun Vector E1 to help with numerous tasks around the farm. “Electric Trev is how our HiSun is better known on the farm. He has become an integral part of the team. He is used for everything from feeding horses and changing their rugs to moving the goats. The mud hasn’t posed a challenge and the animals have become as fond of him as we all have. It’s so easy to just charge and go and quiet to have around the animals and campers alike,” explained Michelle Hugo, Willow Grove Farm.
GOOD RUNNING EVENTS LTD Organised by Good Running Events Ltd, Run Sandringham is a major annual charity event series in East Anglia that includes a Half Marathon, 5K or Community Mile with a start and finish within the grounds of the Royal Sandringham Estate. The organisers hired two HiSun Vector E1s from HiSun authorised dealer Electric Wheels for the 2021 events. “We loved having the HiSun electric 4x4 vehicles at our events in 2021,” explained Aaron Murrell, Director, Good Running Events Ltd. “They were a fantastic addition to ensure all our event logistics ran as smoothly as possible. We are hoping to be in a position to purchase a machine later this year.”
WESSEX FIRE & RESCUE SERVICE, ASHMORE, SALISBURY For the past 30 years, Wessex Fire & Rescue Service has been at the forefront of fire safety and awareness operating at events and supporting companies around the UK with their fire safety needs. Keith Allgood, Fire Officer for Wessex Fire & Rescue Service explained why they chose to invest in an electric UTV, “We considered if an electric vehicle would suit our needs in terms of carrying equipment whilst providing sufficient green power to get around on- site during event days. We work closely with the Shambala Music Festival organisers satisfying their requirement for an effective, environmentally-friendly fire response vehicle. With just one overnight charge the HiSun ran for the four-day duration of the show. We definitely made the right decision to go electric!”
WATATUNGA WILDLIFE RESERVE, KINGS LYNN, NORFOLK Created out of a passion for endangered species by farmer and conservationist, Ed Pope, Watatunga Wildlife Reserve specialises in the conservation of endangered large-hoofed mammals, mainly deer and antelope, and around 70 different bird species. “I had been looking for the ultimate electric UTV for some time and it wasn’t until last year that I discovered a suitable alternative to a petrol machine that offers the power, range, and is built for work.” explained Ed Pope, Managing Director of Watatunga Wildlife Reserve. “The HiSun has lived up to expectations and with the long wheelbase, I can get several passengers in and have room for tools and animal feed, as well as the option to tow. What drew me to the machine was the lithium-ion electric unit which is quiet, powerful and fits with conservation and game management activities. The range is good and being lithium-ion there is no maintenance and charging is easy.
