The AA’s ‘freewheeling hub’ has rescued thousands of stranded vehicles in the UK since its launch five years ago. Recovering almost 10,000 vehicles per year, on average, the ‘freewheeling hub’ tows electric vehicles (EVs) and 4x4s on two wheels that would otherwise be stranded. A key initiative to develop better support for EV drivers, the ‘freewheeling hub’ has resulted in shorter waiting times and reduced CO2 emissions for breakdown recoveries. “That’s thousands of vehicles that previously would have needed a flatbed recovery vehicle to safely take them from the roadside. “As a classic work of AA innovation and forward thinking, we’re extremely proud of it.”The ‘freewheeling hub’ will be on show at October’s Fleet & Mobility Live.
