In this year's trials, along with accumulating total mileage, we focused on testing Arrival Vans in extreme environments and conditions. Performing perfectly in and around Banbury, our vehicles have also shown exceptional results in Dubai, simulating delivery cycles in sweltering hot weather. Furthermore, our devices have successfully made an international trip from Banbury to Zurich.Hot environment testing
