First in Europe to Launch 100% Electric Dual-Temperature Vehicles

Our brand-new pioneering electric vans are now delivering to customers in North Devon and Oxford – these are the first 100% electric dual-temperature vehicles in Europe!

“Much time, effort and investment has gone into getting the spec and design of these vehicles right” says Darren Holloway, Director of Central Operations.

So why have we done this?

Doing our bit to improve climate change is not just a nicety. Having calculated the impact our business is having on the environment; we know that our fleet is the biggest contributor of Co2 emissions.

Compared to diesel vehicles, these vans will save 24,960 tons of carbon per year (based on a range of 120 miles per day, 6 days per week). This is the equivalent to the weight of 2 houses per year, or 1825 bars of gold!

This goes hand in hand with our selection of an energy provider that uses 100% renewable energy, which in itself, has removed 12% of our total carbon emissions.

What does this mean for our customers?

Oxford’s Council aim to move towards a zero-carbon transport system, whilst North Devon is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, with the economy seeing 4 million tourists per year, most of whom visit because of the natural environment.

“Protecting our local environment means as much to our customers as it does to us”, comments Kelly Williams, Director. “This is just the beginning of our vehicle replacement program, and we’re proud to be innovators in our industry for the good of the planet”.
