Maxus strikes fleet deal for 100 electric vans

London full fibre broadband provider, G Network, has purchased 100 electric vans from Harris Maxus.

The deal will see 80 eDeliver 3s and 20 eDeliver 9 zero-emission vans joining the G Network fleet. The deal was struck through Maxus dealership, the HTC Van Centre.

Aaron Cartey, fleet manager at G Network, said: “Every day, G Network Field Engineers travel around the heart of London connecting homes and businesses to our 100% fibre network. It is our priority that we work safely and sustainably, so we are delighted to partner with Maxus to bolster our fleet of electric vans.

“Our fleet is a key part of our carbon reduction plan, which not only improves our business productivity, but the customer experience of the Londoners we serve.”

Mark Barrett, managing director of Harris Maxus, added: “We’re proud to be supporting businesses such as G Network electrify and future-proof their fleet.”

Barrett believes now is the time for companies to make the switch to electric, particularly businesses like G Network that are having to contend with the recently extended ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ).

Harris Maxus currently have a number of supports in place for businesses eligible for the ULEZ scrappage scheme, enabling even bigger savings on new ULEZ compliant vehicles.
