PEUGEOT is providing the UK’s Royal Mail with an additional 2,000 new electric vans to expand its fleet of electric vehicles (EVs). The order of new PEUGEOT e-Expert and PEUGEOT e-Partner vans will join circa 28,000 PEUGEOT vehicles already in use by the delivery service.
Royal Mail is aiming to have 5,500 electric vehicles on its fleet by Spring 2023.
The PEUGEOT e-Partner is powered by a 50kWh battery providing a range of up to 171 miles (WLTP).
Available with either a 50kWh or 75kWh battery, the PEUGEOT e-Expert offers up to 143 and 205 miles of range respectively (WLTP).
Julie David, Managing Director, PEUGEOT UK, says: “I am incredibly pleased that we can continue to support Royal Mail with models from our award-winning electric van range, including the PEUGEOT e-Partner, which is set to be produced right here in the UK at our Ellesmere Port plant from early next year. The PEUGEOT e-Partner and e-Expert make no compromise on useful volume or practicality compared with the diesel versions. With every van in our range already benefitting from an electric version and every car offering an electrified variant by 2024, we look forward to continuing our support of the Royal Mail and its ambition for a greener future.”
Royal Mail’s commitment to reduce emissions throughout its operations comes hand in hand with PEUGEOT’s electrification strategy, which aims to provide customers with an electrified variant of each model in its range by 2024.
