Embrace Environmental Responsibility with Electric Vans

At Rivervale, we're passionate about our planet. As the Met Office highlighted in its 2023 report, the UK is experiencing significant climate changes, with 2023 being the second warmest year on record. 

This is a wake-up call for businesses to act. By transitioning to an electric vehicle (EV) fleet, your company can play a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. 

Let's be the change-makers who drive towards a cleaner, greener future!

The Impact on Your Carbon Footprint

Have you ever calculated the carbon footprint of your business? 

Transport remains the largest source of GHG emissions in the UK according to recent government statistics, accounting for 26% of the nation's total emissions in 2021, according to government statistics. 

Transitioning to an electric van fleet can significantly lower your GHG emissions. 

For instance, a journey from Glasgow to London in an electric van generates just 29 KgCO2e in indirect emissions, compared to 90 KgCO2e for diesel/petrol vehicles. 

Even for shorter trips, like Croydon to Wimbledon, electric vans prove far more eco-friendly.

 

Reducing Dependency on Fossil Fuels

Switching to a Maxus electric van fleet reduces your business's reliance on fossil fuels, crucial in combating global warming. 

While the national grid uses a mix of energy sources, adopting electric vans allows your company to tap into renewable energy options, such as installing solar panels for on-site van charging.

 

Boosting Public Health with Lower Emissions

Moving away from fossil fuels to electric vans positively impacts public health by decreasing exposure to harmful vehicle emissions. 

While electric vans still produce emissions from tyre and brake wear, they significantly lower air pollution. 

Studies, like those from Imperial College London, demonstrate the wide-ranging health benefits of reduced air pollution.

 

Advantages in Clean Air and Low-Emission Zones

By owning an electric van fleet, your business can avoid road user charges in the UK's clean air and low-emission zones. 

This not only saves costs but also aligns with public health and environmental goals.

 

Invest in Green Transportation's Future

Sustainability is at the forefront of the future transportation landscape. Maxus offers a variety of commercial electric vans, including customisable options to suit different business needs. 

With Rivervale we offer comprehensive service and repair support, ensuring your fleet operates at peak efficiency.

Safety is paramount in our Maxus fleets, which meet all European commercial vehicle safety standards. 

Our advanced driver assistance system, equipped with the latest ESP technology, ensures safe and secure operations.
