Driving Towards a Sustainable Future

As businesses consider transitioning to a zero-emission fleet, Dawsongroup vans is there to support them every step of the way, providing customers with a complete and practical solution for managing their transition to electric, zero-emission vehicles. 

Focused on making a positive impact, we have proactively established strategic alliances to support our customers on their net-zero journeys. With a rapidly growing fleet of electric vehicles designed to cater to a diverse range of industries, we deliver an end-to-end solution that is both comprehensive and practical, helping businesses transition smoothly and confidently.

To reduce its carbon footprint, Dawsongroup vans is implementing decarbonisation projects across its sites. This includes the most recent installation of an industry-leading clean energy micro-hub at our Milton Keynes depot. The microgrid incorporates 250 solar panels and 17 dual chargers – providing 34 electric charge points in total. By harnessing solar and renewable energy, we are preparing for a future when EVs will be the main powertrain, and aim to remove our reliance on the grid, which is not always powered by clean energy. The goal is to generate more energy than needed to power the Milton Keynes depot, as well as for charging, and to export the surplus back to the grid. This investment not only benefits the environment but also provides convenient charging options for both our fleet and visitors. 

Additionally, our technicians, all accredited to IMI Level 3, possess the expertise to safely maintain the electric vehicles in the fleet, ensuring smooth operations and providing valuable insights to customers. 

Advanced telematics offering

As the requirement for a connected commercial fleet increases, Dawsongroup vans has introduced cutting-edge telematics technology into its offering from a world-leading supplier. It is an essential tool for customers to evaluate their fleet's readiness for the transition to electric vehicles, as the data is instrumental in determining the most suitable vehicles for the shift to electric models.

Real-time vehicle monitoring combined with detailed data-driven reports and analytics enables customers to make informed decisions regarding their fleet management, vehicle maintenance, and overall operational efficiency. It will enhance the safety and security of customers' vehicles whilst driving significant cost savings through optimised routing, vehicle charging, and proactive maintenance scheduling.
