For any fleet embarking on electrification, there will be many milestones celebrated along the way.

It could be when the first, or 1,000th, electric vehicle comes on to the fleet or perhaps when the first charger is installed at the workplace car park.

For Iron Mountain – which is no stranger to electrification having put its first electric vehicle onto the fleet a decade ago – it was taking on six Renault Master 3.5-tonne electric vans at its Cody site in east London earlier this year.

Such was the occasion, senior executives from the company’s US base travelled to the UK for a special presentation morning to mark it. The excitement among top execs and the transport team and drivers at the Iron Mountain events was palpable.
