650 converted ID. Buzz Cargos for one fleet

This news caught my attention. A leading UK facilities transformation company, Mitie, has ordered 650 converted all-electric ID. Buzz Cargo vans, which will join its growing fleet of 4,000 electric vehicles.

It is one of the largest fleet deals for the all-electric van to date, with the first vehicles already on UK roads.

As part of its Plan Zero pledge to reach net zero emissions for its own operations by the end of 2025, Mitie required a new model of vans to add to its growing electric fleet.

The ID. Buzz Cargo was selected following a competitive pitch, because of its premium driving experience, all-electric range and competitive price.

Mitie also required a load space suitable for a large variety of requirements that support its applications. The ID. Buzz Cargo has a payload hold volume of 3.9m3, and a maximum loading width of 1.7m*, height of 1.3m and length of 2.2m.

Working alongside Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Mitie’s nominated conversion partner, Gentili UK, they devised a solution which includes one side of lightweight racking with four shelves to safely hold parts and equipment, as well as a lockable cabinet for high-value tools.

The vehicles feature a load-through bulkhead, removing the need for roof racks and external pipe carriers.
