This is like Katie Price, same way of keeping themselves in the news i.e. contrived things.
Why oh why do it make the news cycles?

This another ploy for your grass gas or your latest idea of green hydrogen being big?

Anyone told him that if he uses a Satnav and puts Clacton into the search box, he'll be able to go there and service his electors

Down's not a problem either, they go into Regen mode (turns the motor into a generator and puts charge back into the battery) slowing the truck so don't need to use the brakes unless its an emergency stop.

What you call a "truck" for last mile deliveries, we call a van. trucks with trailers are long distance haulers
