TPS accelerates EV adoption in Volkswagen Group UK parts delivery fleet

TPS, the parts business of Volkswagen Group UK, has taken further steps to electrify its delivery fleet across Britain and Northern Ireland, doubling the volume of electric vehicles on its 680-strong fleet over the past 12 months.

Following successful pilots with a number of Cupra Born and Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo models, TPS is supercharging its parts deliveries with more than one in 10 vehicles on the fleet now electric.

This means that across the 83 TPS centres, which provide genuine Volkswagen Group parts for independent workshops and bodyshops across the UK for vehicles from the Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, Seat, Cupra, Skoda and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brands, 88 EVs are now in active service.

These include Cupra Born and ID. Buzz Cargo models, as well as the all-new Volkswagen eTransporter.

Volkswagen Group UK says the new EVs are expected to save 1,384 tonnes of CO2 over the three-year contract lifecycle, equivalent to the annual emissions of around 500 small vans. More are planned for 2026 as current vehicles come round for renewal.

In addition to making improvements through new delivery vehicles, over 50 TPS centres how have EV charging points; four have solar panels to further support the switch to sustainable power.
