Iron Mountain on the road to net zero

For any fleet embarking on electrification, there will be many milestones celebrated along the way.

It could be when the first, or 1,000th, electric vehicle comes on to the fleet or perhaps when the first charger is installed at the workplace car park.

For Iron Mountain – which is no stranger to electrification having put its first electric vehicle onto the fleet a decade ago – it was taking on six Renault Master 3.5-tonne electric vans at its Cody site in east London earlier this year.

Such was the occasion, senior executives from the company’s US base travelled to the UK for a special presentation morning to mark it. The excitement among top execs and the transport team and drivers at the Iron Mountain events was palpable.

Such loyalty and appreciation could be due to the fact that the company considers drivers first when ordering vehicles. They want them to be excited about getting behind the wheel of an electric van. After all, as one exec comments:

“Drivers are the face of Iron Mountain to our customers.”

The company’s main UK sites are in Birmingham, London, Wakefield, Warrington and Livingston in Scotland.
