Why Electric Vehicles Require Specialised Enclosed Transport

Transporting an Electric Vehicle (EV) isn't the same as moving a petrol car. With unique weight distributions and sensitive battery technology, EVs demand a higher level of logistical care.

1. Managing the Weight

EVs are significantly heavier than their internal combustion counterparts due to the battery packs. This requires a transport provider with high-payload capacity trailers. Our triple-axle Woodford trailers are designed to handle the 2.5-tonne+ curb weight of modern luxury EVs like the Lotus Eletre or Rolls-Royce Spectre without compromising stability.

2. Battery Safety & Key Proximity

To prevent "phantom drain" or accidental activation during transit, we follow strict safety protocols:

• Key Shielding: We ensure keys are stored in signal-blocking containers to prevent the car from waking up during the journey.

• No-Drive Policy: We utilize specialized loading equipment so your EV is never driven onto the deck, preserving your battery range and mileage.

3. Protection from the Elements

The sophisticated sensors and cameras used for Autopilot and ADAS systems are sensitive to road debris. Our enclosed flatbed service ensures these "eyes" of your car remain clean and calibrated, arriving ready for the road.
