Fraser Crichton Bio:
Fraser Crichton began his career working with the council's fleet, primarily diesel vehicles with some LPG. He worked on everything from lawnmowers to Bin Lorries, enjoying the work but finding it repetitive. However, everything changed with the introduction of the Nissan Leaf in Dundee. It prompted Fraser to shift his focus towards sustainable and electric transportation, inspiring him to explore new opportunities and possibilities in the ever-evolving world of electric vehicles and sustainable energy.
