A CAR retailer in Bradford is hosting a zero emissions electric car event this weekend to launch its new fully electric model.

Clive Brook Bradford is launching Volvo’s first ever purely electric car, the C40 Recharge, with a three-day event that explores the future of electric motoring, alongside test drives of its electrified model range.

The event, which runs from Friday, March 4, to Sunday, March 6, will give those attending the chance to get answers to any questions they have about electric cars - from their sustainability credentials to what they are really like to live with.

Those attending the Canal Road dealership this weekend will have the chance to get behind the wheel of Volvo's latest electrified models, including the C40 Recharge.

The new fully electric model comes with a large battery, allowing drivers to travel up to 274 miles on a single charge.

Due to rapid charging being integrated into its core design, owners of the C40 can charge their car from 10 to 80 per cent in just 37 minutes.

At the zero emissions event, visitors can also enjoy a Swedish 'fika' coffee break and find out more about Volvo’s evolution to becoming a fully electric car company by 2030 from members of the Clive Brook Bradford team.

Clive Brook, retailer principal at Clive Brook Bradford, said: “We’re delighted to welcome visitors through our doors for the launch of the new C40 Recharge with an event that celebrates electric driving.

“We are incredibly excited to have the new Volvo C40 Recharge at Clive Brook Bradford, which, alongside the award-winning XC40 Recharge, truly showcases the future of motoring.

“We know that many drivers are still yet to drive an electric car, which makes this a fantastic opportunity to test drive the vehicles, discover more about their technology and get expert advice for when the time comes to make the switch.”

The dealership was shortlisted for Small and Medium Enterprise Business of the Year in the Telegraph & Argus Bradford Means Business Awards 2021.

The awards, which celebrate the successes and achievements of companies that are integral to Bradford’s economy, recognise those which have demonstrated a strong financial performance and commitment to advancing the local economy over the last year.
