Kingstown Works takes on electric Peugeot e-Expert vans

Kingstown Works Limited (KWL), the company that provides Housing Maintenance, Street Lighting, and Vehicle Fleet Services to Hull City Council (HCC), has expanded its vehicle fleet with 13 full electric Peugeot e-Expert vans, which have a range of 211 miles.

The latest addition of e-Expert vans brings the total number of Peugeot vehicles operated by KWL and HCC close to 200, with Peugeot having supplied 60 zero-emissions electric vehicles to the city council previously. Both KWL and the HCC are working towards electrifying its entire fleet in the future.

Gary Middleton, HCC Fleet Manager  said: “Peugeot products have proven a first line choice for many years for both KWL and HCC. Given PEUGEOT’s previous work in providing a wide range of vehicles for both KWL and HCC, the Peugeot e-Expert was a natural successor to progress the continuous electrification of our fleet.

“The impressive specification of the new Peugeot e-Expert was more than enough to make this our next vehicle of choice. One could say, the PEUGEOT e-Expert is a van for all seasons!”

David Peel, Managing Director of Peugeot UK said: “We are delighted that Kingstown Works Limited and the Hull City Council has welcomed the Peugeot e-Expert with the aim to electrify its entire fleet. We have been working with the team from Kingston upon Hull very closely for years and are thrilled to see that our latest, full electric van will be able to help KWL and HCC continue to provide essential services.”  

Buyers can register their interest in the new e-Expert online, with basic MRRP prices (before VAT) starting from £32,965 for the entry specification with a 50kWh battery.
