Electric vehicles for factories and manufacturing
Move people and loads across the plant.
Overview
Why manufacturing and factories choose Hawke Electric Vehicles
A manufacturing site is a lot of ground to cover: production halls, stores, yards and offices, often a good walk apart. Moving staff, tools and materials between them on foot is slow, and in a van is oversized and fume-heavy for indoor use. Electric personnel and load carriers close the gap: compact enough for aisles and doorways, clean enough to run inside, and quiet enough not to add to the noise of the plant. Specified to your loads and layout, they keep people and parts moving without the cost and emissions of larger vehicles.

Performance
Personnel movement across the site
Shift changes, visitors and staff crossing a large plant are carried in minutes rather than walked, on personnel vehicles sized from four seats to a shuttle. Time on the vehicle is time not lost to the walk between halls.
Branding
Load carrying, indoors and out
Tools, parts, stores and finished goods moved between production, stores and dispatch in a load bed sized to the job, clean and quiet enough to run inside without fumes. An enclosed box body protects sensitive or secure loads.
Delivery
Honest about what we do and do not make
We supply personnel carriers, utility load carriers and box vehicles, and towing within their rated capacity. We do not make heavy tow tractors or tuggers for multi-tonne trailer trains, and we will tell you where our vehicles fit and where a dedicated tug is the right tool instead.
Support
Clean, quiet and low-cost
Zero tailpipe emissions suit indoor use and site air-quality goals, near-silent running keeps the works quieter, and electric running costs sit well below petrol. A 3-year warranty and 24-hour call-out keep availability high.

FAQ
Manufacturing & Factories questions, answered
Do you make heavy tow tractors for trailer trains?+
No. We supply personnel carriers, utility load carriers and box vehicles, and towing within their rated capacity. For multi-tonne trailer trains a dedicated tow tractor is the right tool, and we will say so rather than imply our vehicles do that job.
Can the vehicles run inside the factory?+
Yes. With no exhaust and near-silent running they suit production halls and stores as well as yards, so one vehicle can move between indoor and outdoor without fumes inside.
How much can they carry?+
From several hundred kilograms on the compact models to a tonne or more on the larger ones, with an enclosed box option for secure loads. We quote real figures for the model we recommend.
Can they carry staff across a large site?+
Yes. Personnel vehicles from four seats up to a shuttle carry staff, visitors and contractors across the plant, turning a long walk into a short ride.
What is the running cost compared with petrol?+
Electric running costs are well below petrol with far less to service. We help you compare against your current vehicles at the survey using your real usage.
