We can provide expert conversion services. These include the modification of the standard Euro 6 diesel, light commercial vehicle, transforming it in to a plug-in hybrid or completely electric vehicle. The conversion itself involves the installation of state-of-the-art components, including motors, battery systems, vehicle control units and user interface units. With two different options available, users can tailor the vehicle to their specific requirements, whether that be drive cycle, fossil fuel use and emissions. Full technical information on this service can be found on the website.
We are proud to be market leaders in the area of friction free braking systems, more specifically induction braking. The system works by generating eddy currents in order to dissipate the majority of braking energy, taking the pressure of the standard braking system. The eddy currents gradually produce excess heat but this is dispersed via a ventilation system. The overall effect of the Telma induction brake is the ability to slow down a rotating shaft, without friction and therefore protecting the components from wear.
Please contact us at Astra Specialist Vehicle Engineering with your exhaust requirements and to find out more about our stainless steel exhaust systems. Our team of specialists will provide all of the information and advice you may need. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our mini artic conversions involves the modification of a standard rigid chassis cab into a small articulated tractor unit. Our mini artic conversions would benefit many different vehicles but are particularly suited to urban and specialist applications. One of the main advantages to this type of modification is that the vehicles in question gain a greater degree of manoeuvrability. If you would like any more information, feel free to visit the website or you can contact us by phone or email.
Further modifications we can provide include additional fuel tank and catwalk installations. These improvements are achieved by relocating components within the chassis to create new spaces. As well as creating new much needed space, we can also offer customers the ability to hold a much larger amount of fuel.
