COMPLETE Business Solutions has started to convert its entire fleet of 177 multi-drop delivery vehicles from diesel to battery power, by commissioning its first Mercedes-Benz eSprinters.
The 17 vans delivered so far by dealer Bell Truck and Van mark the beginning of a transition which the Yorkshire headquartered operator aims to complete in a little over a year.
“This is no mere aspiration, it’s a firm commitment,” asserted chief executive Richard Coulson. “Our vans work throughout Britain from a network of 20 depots and all will be electric by the end of 2022. We believe we’ll be the first national operator to achieve such a transformation.”
