Grace Removals is one of Australia's longest established businesses whose roots trace back to the iconic Grace Bros retail and home services empire founded in 1885. The company evolved to become Australia's largest provider of household removals and business relocation services.
This month, Grace has taken a significant step towards its commitment to environmental sustainability by introducing Australia's fully electric removals truck to its household moving vehicle fleet.
The new electric vehicle symbolises Grace's dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and leading the way in eco-friendly practices within the removals sector. By harnessing the advancements in electric vehicle technology, Grace Removals is not only streamlining its operations but also contributing to a cleaner, greener future.
"We are incredibly proud to be at the forefront of this exciting transition," says Craig Page, Managing Director of the Grace Group of companies. "Our new electric truck represents a significant milestone in our ongoing journey towards sustainable operations. It's more than just a new vehicle; it's our commitment to our clients and the planet."
The electric removals truck boasts impressive features that enhance operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact. With its long-range capabilities, the vehicle is perfectly suited for the busy schedules of Grace Removals, ensuring seamless, uninterrupted service across the Sydney metropolitan area.
The arrival of the first electric removals truck marks the beginning of Grace's comprehensive plan to introduce electric trucks and small vans, complemented by high-capacity solar generated charging infrastructure across all its capital city branch locations throughout Australia within the next two years.
