Arnold Clark aims to drive innovation

LEADING automotive firm Arnold Clark has been built through its strong relationships with its customers.

So the UK’s largest independently owned, family-run car retailer is excited to announce its latest project, which aims to broaden conversations with customers and help prepare everyone for the future of transport.

The Arnold Clark Innovation Centre is the next step towards a cleaner, more sustainable way of driving.

It has been designed to answer any potential questions you may have about the direction the transport industry is headed – it’s not about selling, it’s about learning.

Everyone knows how important alternative fuel vehicles are to our environmental future, but there are many misconceptions about these vehicles.

That’s why product geniuses are on hand to help answer any questions – providing clarity on areas such as range anxiety, charging processes and much more.

Experience driving electric first-hand

Many people want to experience driving electric first-hand before making the big switch. That’s why there are more than 60 electric and hybrid cars available to test-drive.

On top of that, there is a huge selection of interactive exhibits and displays that aim to educate visitors, as well as training facilities to help everyone get a grasp on the new electric normal.

However, the Innovation Centre isn’t just for today’s concerns. Arnold Clark has teamed up with the University of Strathclyde to set up joint research programmes looking at the future of the car industry and how the changing market will affect the customer.

The business knows that switching to electric is only the first step in this new and exciting journey, and wants to be more than just a passenger for it.

That’s why it’s hoped this joint venture will help develop and shape the transport industry for years to come.

Meet the team, test drive the range

The Innovation Centre, on Dumbarton Road in Glasgow, will host a wide range of events available to the public.

For example, a series of “Learn and Drive” events are running throughout September – these include a “meet and greet” with the team of experts, a bespoke tour of the centre and a chance to test-drive the range of electric vehicles.

Keep an eye out on the Arnold Clark website for all upcoming events.

Best of all, the Innovation Centre is open seven days a week.

So, if you want to find out more about alternative fuel vehicles, have a chat about up-and-coming transport technologies, or fancy taking the latest hybrid out for a test drive, visit the Arnold Clark Innovation Centre.
