Commercial Services Group is supporting Kent County Council in their desire to achieve a greener transport infrastructure.

A brand new two-year electric van scheme for businesses.

Having successfully secured £1.5M of Highways England funding, the ‘Kent Realising Electric Vans Scheme’ is one action KCC is taking to help reduce emissions across the Kent road network by encouraging business fleets to switch to electric.

How does the scheme work?

Available to any Kent and Medway business, the scheme offers businesses the opportunity to ‘try for free’ an electric van for up to six weeks. The scheme is fully operated by a specialist team in KCS Procurement Services and will eventually lead to a range of 50 electric vans for trial throughout the county.

Transforming Kent for the future, together

The aim is that more businesses will be more likely to convert their fleets to electric if they have an opportunity to a trial for an extended period, before committing to a purchase or long-term lease. To further support Kent’s ambition for cleaner transport, more electric vehicle charging points are being installed throughout the country too!
