Initially 40 of the new electric RXV golf cars have been delivered with a further 20 to arrive at a later date. Commenting on the buggies, Javier Calderon said, “This new RXV is the first golf car to complete two rounds on the North course without recharging. It is an excellent vehicle and is perfect for our requirements here at our club. The new AC drive system is very good and the safety features make it very user friendly for the golfers.”
