Why is sustainable machinery so important?
The environment is our business, our income, our livelihoods and it is in all our best interests to protect, nurture and care for it.
One way to do that as a business is by working towards being Net Zero. This is achieved by balancing carbon emissions with techniques that remove CO2 from the atmosphere, such as carbon offsetting. The first step to achieving this is to reduce CO2 emissions or, where possible, cutting CO2 emissions altogether.
The first and arguably most effective way of doing this in our industry is by replacing diesel/petrol powered machinery with battery powered machinery wherever possible.

The power source
We provide sustainable, environmentally friendly machinery alternatives that don’t compromise on the quality of your work and reduce your carbon footprint. Our current offering includes products powered by biodiesel and advanced batteries made more efficient by incorporating electronic fuel injection, hybrid and electric technologies.
You don’t need to make any changes to your current infrastructure with any of these vehicles: most models can be fast charged by plugging into any standard household outlet, taking between three to eight hours depending on the model for a full charge.
Toro
Market-leading when it comes to research and development into sustainable technology for the turf and groundscare markets, with Toro you can choose from hybrid and all-electric options for cutting grounds, greens, tees and fairways, general maintenance duties and for moving around people.
However, the brand’s sustainability journey doesn’t stop here. Toro is also pioneering autonomous mower technology that combines clean energy with intelligent automation.
These autonomous and robotic mowers are designed to deliver consistent cut quality, improved efficiency and reduced reliance on manual labour, all while operating quietly and sustainably.
With electric and hybrid options – plus GPS-based navigation systems that ensure optimised mowing paths and minimise energy waste – Toro’s autonomous machines fit seamlessly into sustainable fleet strategies, offering a smarter way to manage large areas with less energy and fewer emissions.
Here’s an insight into the brand’s journey to electric.
STAR EV
From award-winning brand STAR EV, a leading global electric vehicles distributor, comes a range of rapid-charge lithium-ion phosphate battery-powered passenger buggies and utility vehicles.
There’s so much choice within the range, alongside the option to configure vehicles to the exact requirements for the job. With minimal maintenance and zero emissions, these machines are dependable and cost less to own than their fuelled equivalents often lasting three to four times as long.
Good mileage per charge
STAR EV’s smallest models can travel at a range of 20-30 miles, with others covering as far as 70-80 miles on a single charge – more than enough for your daily tasks.
Extensive warranty
STAR EV offers up to six years warranty on batteries, plus its lithium-ion batteries operate on 100 percent full power until discharge with no decline in performance.
On-board charging
The entire range comes equipped with on-board charging, meaning no expensive infrastructure costs and simple plug and go charging.
