A seismic shift is underway in the South African automotive landscape as Enviro Automotive ignites an electric revolution with the arrival of its groundbreaking Riddara 4×4 Double Cab electric pick up vehicles manufactured by  the Geely Auto Group. This monumental leap towards sustainable mobility is amplified by the unveiling of dramatic price reductions across Enviro Automotive’s entire EV range, making the vehicles more affordable to all. Fuelling this transformative movement is a powerful new alliance with Turner Morris, a titan in the construction plant rental and burgeoning renewable energy sectors, poised to supercharge the accessibility of Enviro Automotive’s cutting-edge electric vehicles across Southern Africa.

Gideon Wolvaardt, the visionary CEO of Enviro Automotive, articulated the company’s driving force: “Our unwavering commitment at Enviro Automotive is to spearhead South Africa’s transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future through accessible and innovative electric mobility solutions.

The arrival of Geelys Riddara 4×4, coupled with our strategic synergy with Turner Morris and the unprecedented price adjustments we’ve implemented, represents a giant stride towards realizing this vision. We are not just introducing vehicles; we are empowering a nation to embrace a new era of driving.”

Echoing this sentiment, Francois Malan, Head of Sales at Enviro Automotive, underscored the immediate impact of these developments. “The Riddara 4×4 electric bakkie is not merely an addition to our lineup; it’s a declaration of intent. It unequivocally demonstrates the power and versatility of electric vehicles in tackling even the most demanding tasks. Our partnership with the esteemed Turner Morris will ensure these game-changing EVs reach every corner of Southern Africa, while our significantly reduced prices will empower more individuals and businesses to embrace the economic and environmental advantages of electric mobility.”

While the initial fleet of the revolutionary Riddara 4×4 bakkies will make its public debut shortly after the NAMPO Harvest Day Expo (May 13-16), Enviro Automotive’s electrifying presence will be strongly felt at the agricultural showcase through their collaboration with Turner Morris.

Attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the capabilities of the robust SRM T3 EV bakkie, a true workhorse boasting a class-leading 1.6-tonne payload and a practical 6 kWh Vehicle-to-Load functionality, showcasing its seamless integration into commercial and agricultural operations.

The Riddara RD6 itself heralds a new chapter for electric vehicles in South Africa. As the first fully electric 4×4 bakkie and the first fully electric 4×2 bakkie engineered from the ground up on an advanced Volvo-derived platform (eschewing the traditional ladder frame), it redefines expectations of electric vehicle performance and handling. With a thrilling 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 4.5 seconds, the Riddara delivers exhilarating performance without compromising on sustainability. Furthermore, owners will benefit from a comprehensive 5-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and an industry-leading 8-year/200,000 km battery warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind.

The inaugural shipment of the Riddara RD6 is imminently arriving on Durban shores, paving the way for its highly anticipated market launch.

In a bold move to democratise electric vehicle ownership, Enviro Automotive has implemented significant price reductions across its model range. These adjustments, made possible by evolving battery technology costs and favourable global trade dynamics, position electric vehicles as a compelling and economically sound alternative to their internal combustion engine counterparts.

The DFSK EC35 electric panel van, available in both practical 2 and 4-seater configurations, now stands as a remarkably affordable option. Enviro Automotive highlights that the cumulative fuel expenses for a comparable petrol or diesel van over 200,000km would now substantially exceed the purchase price of the zero-emission EC35. Adding further incentive, a current promotion offers substantial savings of up to R105,000 on the EC35.

While the Riddara battery offers an 8-year/200,000km real-world data indicates a robust lithium battery lifespan of 15 to 20 years, underscoring the long-term value proposition of these electric vehicles.

The strategic alliance with Turner Morris will dramatically expand Enviro Automotive’s national footprint, integrating their 13 strategically located outlets and workshops with the existing DFSK dealer network. This synergistic partnership will create a robust network of over 30 accessible locations nationwide, bringing Enviro Automotive’s cutting-edge electric vehicles closer to customers across South Africa.

Embark on the electric future today by visiting www.enviroauto.co.za and discover the transformative power of Enviro Automotive’s groundbreaking electric vehicles.
