Holden has announced that Beecham Holden,
Caboolture has been appointed as one of 49 dealers that will sell and service
the Volt long range electric car when it goes on sale in Australia later this
year.
Holden Executive Director – Sales, Marketing and
Aftersales, John Elsworth said Beecham Holden had committed to achieve environmental
accreditation and invest in new tooling and infrastructure to support Volt
servicing requirements.
“Many Holden dealers already have a strong
environmental focus but each Volt dealer will also be required to achieve at
least level 2 Green Stamp Plus Accreditation through the VACC Green Stamp program. said Mr Elsworth.
“Accreditation assures customers that the
dealership takes its environmental responsibility seriously.”
Dealerships that attain such accreditation must
implement a minimum number of environmental management practices across their
business. This could include recycling, efficient energy usage and reduction in
the use and disposal of toxic chemicals.
“Each dealer will install a dedicated Volt charging
station and invest in new tooling and training to ensure the highest standards
of service for owners of Holden’s first electric car.”
Announcing the Volt dealers as part of the Holden
network, John Elsworth also confirmed that the first orders had been placed by
dealers who reported strong interest in Volt.
“We asked dealers to place their first orders last
month and while it’s too early to confirm numbers, we are receiving anecdotal feedback
that there’s strong interest.
“We would urge all interested customers to contact us
if they want to secure one of the first Volts when they arrive in Australia.”
says Chris Beecham.
