Cardiff-based FleetEV has secured a new contract to provide electric vehicles to the Welsh Government.

FleetEV will supply over 300 vehicles, including cars, vans and specially adapted vehicles, to 15 regions across Wales

FleetEV will supply over 300 vehicles, including cars, vans and specially adapted vehicles, to 15 regions across Wales – said to be the largest-ever EV contract in the country.

The deal will spur sustainability efforts across the public sector in Wales while also delivering expected savings of £660,000.

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

The initiative also aligns with the Future Generations Act. Working together, the Welsh Government Energy Service will provide additional technical support for local authorities, while FleetEV’s contribution is expected to generate as much as £2.89m in social value throughout Wales.

The deal follows FleetEV’s recent rebranding from Fleet-e. Jarrad Morris, founder and CEO, said: “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.

“We’re committed to extending the benefits of electric vehicles, cutting carbon emissions, and supporting Wales’s environmental objectives while also delivering a programme of meaningful social value – and we’re thankful to the Welsh Government for trusting us to play a crucial part in this initiative for a greener and cleaner Wales.”

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.”
