For the second year in a row, South West Electric Vehicle Hire was on-site at the Devon County Showground. Our electric passenger and utility buggies were hard at work moving VIPs and equipment effortlessly across the site.

Large-scale events require seamless logistics, and our zero-emission vehicles proved to be the perfect solution for keeping everyone moving efficiently without the noise or fumes of traditional petrol or diesel engines.

Why Events Choose Our Electric Fleet:

• Eco-Friendly & Silent: Ideal for crowded event spaces, agricultural shows and festivals where noise reduction and sustainability are priorities.
• Versatile Fleet: We supply everything from multi-seat passenger buggies for VIP shuttles to utility vehicles with cargo beds for moving equipment and luggage.
• Reliable & Easy to Drive: All of our vehicles are delivered fully charged, meticulously maintained, and ready to go to work straight away.

Planning an Event?

Whether you are organising a county show, a music festival, a wedding, or a corporate event, we can tailor a hire package to suit your specific venue and guest capacity.

This week, the glorious sunshine wasn’t the only thing turning heads. We officially delivered a custom branded AMP 6-Seat Passenger Vehicle straight to the team at Lainston House – complete with a personalised Evie number plate!

We don’t just deliver high quality electric vehicles; we make sure they look the part, too.

We take care of the entire custom branding process locally, meaning our clients supply the logo and we handle the rest. From design execution to final delivery, we keep things seamless, straightforward, and entirely stress-free.

If only every single delivery day came with blue skies like this!

We have recently added a second electric vehicle to the fleet at Lainston House, following on from a delivery we made to the team last spring. Both vehicles are now working hard across the estate to support everyday operations and guest transport.

AMP 6-Seat Passenger Vehicle

Our most recent delivery is all about guest comfort. The AMP 6 is being used to ferry passengers around the site, keeping everyone warm, dry, and out of the weather as they move between locations.

The Extras: We fitted this unit with a reversing camera for safe navigation on the estate paths, alongside bespoke graphics to match the Lainston House branding.

Capella Work Machine 2-Seat Electric Pickup

Delivered last year, this practical workhorse has become a key part of the ground team’s daily routine. It is used to move goods around the site and handle the heavy lifting when setting up for events.

The Extras: This pickup was customised with a rear load cover to protect equipment from the elements, a reversing camera, and custom graphics applied to the bonnet.

A big thank you to the team at Lainston House for continuing to work with us to build their electric fleet.

We recently delivered two new electric vehicles to the team at South Lodge to help look after their brand-new lakeside lodges, The Reeds.

They took delivery of an AMP 6-Seat Passenger Vehicle and an AMP XL Housekeeping Buggy, both customised to handle the specific day-to-day needs of the estate.

Here is how they are being used:

Guest Transport: The AMP 6-Seat Passenger Vehicle

This vehicle is on shuttle duty, taking guests from reception down to The Reeds.

• All-Weather Runs: It keeps passengers comfortable and out of the elements, no matter what the weather is doing.
• Extra Luggage Space: We fitted a rear luggage carrier to the back so guest bags can travel easily alongside them.

Estate Support: The AMP XL Housekeeping Buggy

To keep the new lodges serviced and running smoothly, the housekeeping team needed a practical, hardworking setup.

• Dry Storage: The back features a secure roller door box with internal shelving, keeping fresh linens and supplies organised and completely rain-proof.
• Laundry Rack: We added a heavy-duty roof rack to carry bags of dirty laundry.
• All-Year Comfort: The fully enclosed cab has built-in heating to keep the driver warm and dry during the winter.

Built for the Job

Both vehicles were finished with bespoke graphics to match the South Lodge branding, and we installed reversing cameras on both units to help the team navigate the estate pathways safely.
