Menzies expands EV fleet to Scotland
Menzies Distribution has expanded its zero-emissions delivery fleet to more than 120 vehicles.
The company already has the UK’s largest all-electric vehicle fleet as well as the largest commercial charging infrastructure in the UK through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gnewt, delivering parcels across London.
The new Nissan e-NV200s vans are based in Oban and are the first electric vehicles to be based in Menzies Distribution’s Scottish network.
Adam Smith, group commercial director at Menzies Distribution said: “We are delighted to introduce our first electric vehicles into our Scottish delivery fleet. We currently have more than 120 electric vehicles delivering parcels, with a particular concentration in London, and we are looking to take the lessons we have learned from running one of the largest all-electric fleets in the UK and roll out across the country.
“Through Gnewt by Menzies Distribution, our electric vans have already delivered more than 10 million parcels emission-free and we look to significantly increase that volume in 2020 as part of our green fleet strategy to introduce electric vans, powered by renewable energy to our UK depots.”
