Alphabet doubles zero emission fleet

Business mobility specialist Alphabet has beaten its 2015 electric vehicle (EV) target, doubling its zero emission fleet over the past year.

Alphabet launched its EV consultancy service AlphaElectric two years ago, to support the uptake of low emission vehicles, and has invested in rapidly expanding its EV leasing fleet.

The large increase means the company’s fleet has now surpassed 3,000 vehicles, with over 1,000 customers operating at least one EV in their fleet, including organisations such as Panasonic, Gnewt Cargo and West Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust.

Daniel St Claire, e-mobility manager at Alphabet, said: "It is not only proof that our EV vision is correct and that we were right to place our full backing behind electric vehicles, but also of the value that our AlphaElectric consultancy service brings to customers. Appetite among companies for electric cars and vans just keeps growing, especially as the price of EV's continues to drop and misconceptions are dispelled. As a result, in 2016 we expect to see the orders of electric vehicles continue to increase significantly."
