GOLF COURSES
“
The globe is focussed on reducing fuel consumption and heading towards electric transportation as the next transitional step and small , medium and large capacity electric UTVs for carrying materials , and people carriers for 4 – 22 people .
David continues : “ Wherever you are and whatever sector you ’ re in , the ability to work more quietly , earlier and for longer will be an advantage . Specifically , golf course and golf resorts with guest rooms or neighbouring residential areas or urban sports stadiums and training grounds will notice a big difference by switching to electric power .
“ This has a direct advantage to sales and customer service , for example , the addition of this range means that through Reesink , not only can cutting start earlier to bring forward tee times with no dispute from neighbours , but other maintenance operations requiring transport of staff or materials can get around the course earlier too .”
When it came to finding a partner who could deliver the electric solution Reesink was looking for , it was a conversation with STAR EV at BTME in 2020 that lead the company to where it is today .
David continues : “ I first came into contact with STAR EV at BTME and our discussions continued from there . It didn ’ t take long for it to become transparent that the brand delivered everything we were looking for . It ’ s a brand that delivers strong technology , innovation , breadth of range , value proposition and importantly - peak performance .
“ Specifically though , we were looking for an electric range with rapid charge , a good mileage per charge , an extensive warranty – up to six years on batteries – along with the usual no more emissions and no more pollution stance . It ’ s no surprise that STAR EV is an awardwinning company in the USA and we ’ re excited to partner with them .”
Jane Zhang , CEO and owner of STAR EV Corporation , says : “ STAR EV Corporation is delighted to be partnering with Reesink , under their new EV division , with an exclusive agreement for the UK and Ireland . Reesink has many strong and proven business relationships across a wide variety of sectors and the company ’ s history and knowledge of turf and recreational outdoor products makes them the perfect partner to represent STAR . STAR looks forward to Reesink delivering to its customer base a fantastic range of ever evolving , and world-renowned electrical vehicles , growing both our brands .”
Electric-powered technology is a fundamental part of the transport and equipment future . Already growing rapidly , with customers keen to switch , the market will want choice , and that ’ s exactly what Reesink e-Vehicles plans to deliver . There will be a new team developed around the new division , plus a new website and branding , but for now further information can be requested by contacting Reesink e-Vehicles on 01480 226800 or via your usual Reesink contact with demonstrations available now .
