Milk & More claims largest EV fleet in UK after LDV EV80 rollout

Milk doorstep delivery service Milk & More is rolling out 159 new electric vehicles, taking its fleet to just over 500.

According to the company, the latest rollout means it has the largest EV fleet in the country.

The new LDV EV80 electric vans have a range of up to 120 miles. Charging provider Elmtronics is supplying 80 Dual Smart Charging stations for the vans whilst also commissioning each site. The Alfen Eve Dual Smart Chargers were selected as the best solution to fulfil the needs of the business.
 

Milk & More’s electric fleet will travel over 14 million miles a year, saving 3.4 million litres of diesel annually. Noise reduction is also a key benefit.
 
Marc Ling, development manager, said:

“We chose to work with Elmtronics as from the initial discussions there was a clear understanding from Elmtronics of the direction of the Milk & More business and our fleet strategy in terms of the large electric vehicle projects we are undertaking.

“Our Partnership is built on strong communication and a collaborative approach across all aspects with a very good face to face relationship with excellent support and advice throughout the process.”

Dan Martin, CEO at Elmtronics, commented:

“Working with Milk & More is such an exciting project for us. They are absolutely committed to reducing emissions where they can, and the electric fleet suits the needs of the customers and the business perfectly.

“The Dual Smart Charging Stations we have installed are 7kW Dual Eve units and the charging stations will all be connected to the Hubsta Network – an intelligent network that connects to over 55,000 charge points worldwide.”
