• Mitie has welcomed the 4,000th electric vehicle (EV) to its fleet
• The vehicle was unveiled by local MP and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on EVs, 马特西方, 在国家电网沃里克总部
• The milestone marks a major step in Mitie’s road to net zero as it continues to lead the way in sustainable transport

Mitie has welcomed the 4,000th electric vehicle (EV), a Volkswagen ID Buzz, to its fleet. This significant milestone underscores Mitie’s commitment to creating a zero emission fleet. 仅去年一年, Mitie加了1,000辆新电动汽车, solidifying its position as one of the largest electric fleets in the UK.

The vehicle was unveiled by 马特西方, 沃里克和莱明顿的议员 at National Grid House. Matt serves as the Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on EVs and was able to hear how Mitie is decarbonising Britain through sustainable transport, from deploying 电动汽车 to its colleagues and customers, to installing thousands of EV charge points across the nation.

The 4,000th EV is one of 650 new Volkswagen ID Buzz’s ordered by Mitie. These long-range 电动汽车 will cater to a wide range of Mitie colleagues, 包括清洁工人, 景观的同事, 移动工程师在不同地点之间穿梭. The vehicle is part of a new multi-million pound partnership between Mitie and National Grid, with Mitie delivering facilities management services at over 260 National Grid sites.

With 60% of its fleet now electric (as of 2024年2月27日), Mitie is on track to meet its target of electrifying its fleet by the end of 2025. This ambitious journey started in 2020 with the launch of 计划为零, a wider initiative aimed at reaching net zero operations in the same timeframe. A large component contributing to Mitie reaching this objective has been implementing a robust EV roadmap, replacing Internal Combustion Engine vehicles with EVs across its contracts and own estate.

随着部署 电动汽车, Mitie is also ensuring the UK has access to the clean, renewable 能源 it needs to power the EV revolution, 已安装超过2个,800 charge points across its colleagues’ homes and customer sites. 它还为许多客户提供支持, 包括国家电网, 有自己的电动汽车战略, 在车队中推广电动汽车, through to the installation and upkeep of charging infrastructure.

“达到我们的4岁,000th EV is a major milestone on our journey to reaching a zero-emission fleet by the end of 2025. The vehicle joining our fleet at National Grid will serve a crucial role for our cleaning operatives on the contract. 很高兴有当地的下院议员参加, 马特西方, who in his role as the Chair of the APPG on EVs is driving forward the importance of fleet electrification, 支持英国企业接受电动汽车战略.”

马特西方, 沃里克和莱明顿的议员, and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Electric Vehicles, 说:

“It was great to have the opportunity to welcome Mitie’s 4,000th electric vehicle to its fleet and hear from the team about the important work they are doing.
