As a leading manufacturer of passenger lifts and vehicle access solutions, PLS is committed to supporting the transition to electric vehicles and a greener future for transport. We understand the importance of weight reduction and increased range for these vehicles and have carefully designed and innovated products that address the unique needs of EVs.

Here’s how we’re paving the way for EV accessibility:

• We’ve engineered vehicle access lifts, ramps, and steps using lightweight materials, such as aluminium components, which make our products up to 20kg lighter than other models while maintaining robustness and stability. For instance, our Access ECO cassette lift is made from advanced high-strength steel, with many components manufactured in aluminium, ensuring it is both strong and stable, yet light enough for electric vehicles to help increase their range and efficiency. Additionally, our innovative design incorporates a brushless motor, which is 80% more energy efficient than its predecessors, contributing to our low power solutions and promoting regeneration technology for enhanced energy efficiency and minimised power consumption.
• Collaboration with major vehicle manufacturers has led us to develop no-drill access step solutions. We designed installation brackets which would deflect downwards away from the battery pack in the event of an accident, so as not to puncture the power-cell.
• We offer EV bespoke solutions to suit your application, ensuring that our lifts are precisely tailored to meet the unique requirements of electric vehicle operators.
• Through strategic partnerships with leading EV manufacturers like Sigma, Maxus LDV, Volta, EVM, Gowrings, GM Coachworks and Ford UK to name but a few, we’re at the forefront of EV accessibility. Our ability to customise lifts for each vehicle type ensures operators have safe and innovative choices, tailored to their specific needs and requirements.
