    \n\tLight electric truck<\/mark>: the Galibot, cost-controlled load transport<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    A light electric truck that works like a combustion vehicle, for a fraction of its operating costs: that\u2019s the Galibot\u2019s promise. Road-approved, 270 kg payload, no car license required \u2014 and about \u20ac1 to recharge for 70 km of range.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Light electric truck: the Galibot\u2019s economic equation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The main barrier to electrifying light fleets is often perceived as financial. The Galibot reverses this logic: its total cost of ownership over 5 years is structurally lower than that of an equivalent combustion light truck. Fuel is replaced by charging from a standard outlet at around \u20ac1 for 70 km. Maintenance is reduced to the bare minimum \u2014 no engine oil, no timing belt, no exhaust system. And an AM license is sufficient for all your drivers, eliminating HR constraints related to B or C licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With usage of 5 days per week over 48 weeks, the fuel cost difference alone represents several thousand euros in annual savings compared to a similar combustion vehicle. Added to this are savings on preventive maintenance and engine repairs, which are absent on a direct-drive electric light truck. French manufacturing<\/a> at the Ruitz factory also ensures a short supply chain for spare parts and after-sales service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Galibot light electric truck in working conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Repeated supply runs on construction sites or in industrial areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    For high-frequency tasks \u2014 10 to 20 trips per day between a stock point and workstations \u2014 the Galibot offsets its higher upfront cost in less than 18 months compared to a combustion vehicle, based solely on energy cost savings. Logistics and airport platforms <\/a>are particularly concerned by these productivity gains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Replacement of end-of-life light vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Galibot fits naturally into a fleet renewal strategy: it replaces an aging combustion light truck without requiring training, dedicated charging infrastructure, or changes to internal procedures. For higher-volume transport needs, the Galibot small electric flatbed truck<\/a> represents the next level in the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Shared fleet in internal logistics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    On large industrial sites, a shared fleet of Galibots across departments reduces the number of vehicles needed thanks to versatile use, while consolidating maintenance costs with a single provider. For even lighter loads or very constrained spaces, the Galibot electric micro utility vehicle<\/a> offers an even more compact footprint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
