Types of electric tugs

There are a number of different types of electric tugs, from golf carts right up to mini buses.

Golf carts: Golf carts are ideal for moving passengers and equipment around golf courses, resorts, schools, parks, hotel grounds and so on. The cars come in various models and sizes from 2-seater to 6-seater, including models designed to carry wheelchairs.

Fire-fighting cars: These are smaller versions of standard fire trucks, ranging from 2-seater to 5-seater. They have some advantages over fire trucks in that they can manoeuvre through narrow streets and get to a fire more quickly. They can also get the fire-fighting process started before bigger equipment arrives.

Electric haulers: Utility 2-seater or 4-seater electric vehicles that can be used to haul cargo, tools, equipment and supplies as well as people.

Shuttle buses: Electric buses ranging from 4-seater to 29-seater that can be used for a variety of applications. This includes in airport car parks, tourist venues, playgrounds, resorts and more. The larger models come with a range of up to 100 km.
