FleetEV secures fleet deal with Welsh Government

FleetEV has agreed a fleet deal with the Welsh Government to supply 300 vehicles, including cars, vans, and specially adapted vehicles to 15 regions across Wales. 

It is believed to be one of the largest ever collaborative procurement of electric vehicles (EVs) and is expected to deliver savings of £660,000.

Jarrad Morris, founder and CEO of FleetEV, said: “It’s fantastic to see FleetEV partnering with Welsh Government to provide electric vehicles to Wales's public sector as part of a collaboration that reflects our mutual commitment to a sustainable future.

“The contract not only impacts today but also offers opportunities for future growth, inviting and encouraging more public sector organisations throughout Wales to reconsider the impact of their fleets and to reduce their carbon footprint.” 

The Welsh Government Energy Service consulted with eligible public sector organisations in Wales to identify vehicles that are suitable for the switch to electric, and in some cases have funded the gap to aid the transition from petrol and diesel vehicles to EVs. 

Working together, the Welsh Government Energy Service will provide additional technical support for local authorities.

Rebecca Evans, minister for finance and local government, said: “I am pleased to see local authorities leading the way on decarbonising their fleet whilst also driving down costs.

“It is essential we collaborate and use our existing funding and procurement levers in a more innovative and cooperative way to achieve net zero. This is a really good example of working together to achieve more.” 

FleetEV, formerly known as Fleet-e, was formed in 2021, and works with local and national clients including Resource Group, Chargy, The Bunch, and Credas.
