Bentley Motors is renewing its First Response Team fleet, with new fully electric vehicles (EVs) being adopted by the business.

Two fully electric models – the new Volkswagen ID3 and ID Cargo Buzz – will handle day-to-day activities such as medical emergencies and off-site events at the company’s UK headquarters in Crewe.

The new EVs can be charged at 107 onsite charging points powered by more than 36,000 on-site solar panels.

The switch to electric First Response Vehicles supports Bentley’s commitment to meeting its environmental targets in line with the brand’s Beyond100 strategy.

The ID Buzz has had a part wrap to the lower part of the body in red to match the ID3 to keep their appearance uniform.

The Bentley wings and site emergency number have also been added to the vehicles, as well as sirens and a light bar.

Going forward, the ID3 will be used for medical emergencies, off-site events and day-to-day duties onsite, with the ID Cargo Buzz used to transport confined space, height and environmental emergency equipment.

The arrival of the two new electric First Response vehicles follow the lead set by the company’s logistics operation, which only uses Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs).
