Along with Kevin Duck and Mike Rose, ex-boss of Nissan GB’s retail group West Way Tony Lewis and John Edwards, former MD of Land Rover between 2007 and 2009 and from 2014 to 2018 MD of JLR’s Special Vehicle Operations, have brought the Spanish brand to the UK.
Silence UK aims to capitalise on a growing trend of electric scooters and green urban commuting.
Four models have been launched with prices starting from £2,695 and rising to £4,995, and offer ranges of between 35 and 91 miles on a full charge.

The show discussed the follow topics:
