FM Conway has taken on 12 Renault Kangoo E-Tech vans as part of its commitment to switch half of its light weight vehicle fleet to electric models by 2025.

The infrastructure services company has deployed the new Kangoos for use in London boroughs.

They were delivered to FM Conway by Herd Gorup, ready for the roads, with Chapter 8 included in the livery requirements.

FM Conway plans to switch 50% of its <1.5t vehicles to fully electric by 2025 with the goal of changing all 1.5t vehicles to electric in the future.

Dan Conway, the company’s Plant, Transport & Workshop Director, said: “The plan is to integrate more electric vehicles across the business to meet our 2025 target.

“The Herd Group have made the fleet transition as seamless and efficient as possible. With lack of business interruption being key, the switch to electric vehicles has been no different to any new fleet changes.

“With the initial cost of EV vehicles being nearly double than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, the lower running costs and reliability of electric vehicles makes them an economical choice until new technologies come through.”

Herd Group fleet director Danielle Davison added: “The EV landscape is evolving at a rapid pace and adoption within the LCV space has now become a priority for many fleets. At Herd we understand the transition to electric needs careful consideration, as such, we work closely with customers to help identify vehicles that work from a range, payload, and capability perspective.”
