FM Conway has increased its net zero commitment with a delivery of 12 new electric vans from Herd Group.

FM Conway will use the Renault Kangoo E-Tech vans in London boroughs

The leading infrastructure services company will use the Renault Kangoo E-Tech vans in London boroughs, supporting the reduction of harmful emissions.

The order aligns with the company’s commitment to switching half of its <1.5-tonne vehicles to fully electric by 2025 with the goal of changing all 1.5-tonne vehicles to electric in the future.

Dan Conway, plant, transport & workshop director, said: “The plan is to integrate more electric vehicles across the business to meet our 2025 target.

“The Herd Group have made the fleet transition as seamless and efficient as possible. With lack of business interruption being key, the switch to electric vehicles has been no different to any new fleet changes.”

Herd Group delivered the Renault Kangoo E-Techs ready for the roads, with Chapter 8 included in the livery requirements, which is best practice for maintenance and civil engineering companies working on highways.

The vehicles were supplied under the group’s Herd Zero flexible, scalable solution to help fleets transition to an electric fleet in a way that makes most sense for each business.

Herd Group fleet director Danielle Davison said: “The EV landscape is evolving at a rapid pace and adoption within the LCV space has now become a priority for many fleets. At Herd we understand the transition to electric needs careful consideration, as such, we work closely with customers to help identify vehicles that work from a range, payload, and capability perspective.

“Herd spent time working with FM Conway to understand not only the way the vehicles were used, but where and how this aligned with FM Conway’s broader net zero strategy.”
