Co-op invests £1.5m in new Toyota electric vans

Co-op in the UK is expanding its electric home delivery fleet with Toyota with a £1.5 million investment to replace and upgrade its own vehicle fleet.

More than 50 new Proace City EV compact vans are entering service, with the investment supporting more rural communities where courier services tend to be limited or unavailable.

Toyota is an established partner of Co-op’s Quick Commerce rapid delivery operation, with this latest vehicle acquisition programme extending the relationship.

Anthony Molloy, Co-op Quick Commerce delivery and technology manager, said: “We continually explore new and better ways in which we can enhance reliability, extend our reach and better serve our members, customers and communities.

“This investment helps us to achieve that, and is another step toward reducing emissions from our fleet and lowering our impact on the climate – we are delighted to take delivery of our new fleet of electric home delivery vehicles.”
