Luxury tea merchant Ringtons has added an all-electric ID. Buzz Cargo van to its existing 250-strong Volkswagen fleet.

The ID. Buzz Cargo joins Ringtons’ existing 250-strong fleet of Volkswagen Caddy and Crafter vans

The business has been using Volkswagen vans for over a decade to support its doorstop delivery service and the ID. Buzz Cargo joins its current Volkswagen Caddy and Crafter vans.

The new arrival will support Ringtons’ work to minimise its carbon footprint while also providing generous space for the company’s luxury tea, coffee and confectionary produce, which is sold to retail and wholesale customers up and down the country.

Stephen Killinger, operations manager at Ringtons, commented: “We have been looking forward to getting our hands on the ID. Buzz Cargo since it was first announced a couple of years ago. I was lucky enough to be among the first customers to get behind the wheel and aside from being really enjoyable to drive, as a carbon-neutral business there are clear benefits to us in going all-electric.”

Craig Cavanagh, national fleet manager at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “We’re delighted that our long-term partner, Ringtons, has chosen us once again, welcoming its first all-electric ID. Buzz Cargo van onto the fleet. To hear that over and above its clear sustainability credentials, the comfortable cabin and generous load space will enable Ringtons to provide the same, reliable delivery service they have become famous for is fantastic.”
