Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has supplied aviation detailing business Up & Away with 15 ABT e-Transporter vans, helping the business to go carbon-neutral.

Up & Away’s new all-electric fleet feature a bespoke livery along with a tailored racking solution to store equipment securely

Up & Away serves the UK’s private aircraft industry with a range of valeting and detailing services and runs a full team of operatives and staff at airports across the UK and Europe.

Its new all-electric fleet will be used by the team to transport equipment to and from airports across the UK, and feature a bespoke livery along with a tailored racking solution to store equipment securely.

Stefan Murphy, managing director for Up & Away Aviation Detailing, said: “We needed a fleet of vans that represented us as a business; vans that looked and felt premium, offered utmost reliability and provided us with a sustainable solution to help us reach our goal to become carbon neutral. The ABT e-Transporter fits that brief expertly and we are delighted with our new fleet of vans.”

Rob Holdcroft, head of fleet for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, added: “We strive to work with our customers through every stage of the purchasing and aftersales experience and we are delighted to have been able to offer tailored, liveried premium vans to Up & Away Aviation Detailing as well as helping the business on its way to reach carbon neutral status. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future.”

The ABT e-Transporter was developed in collaboration with VW partner ABT e-Line and offers an all-electric range of up to 82 miles, with cargo space of 6.7m3. Flexible charging options allow for 80% charge in just 45 minutes.

Although production of the ABT e-Transporter has now stopped, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has a range of competitive finance offers on remaining stock, with 0% APR and a current free charger offer.
