Eleven electric Renault Kangoo Z.E. vans for Sky

Sky has taken delivery of eleven electric Renault Kangoo Z.E. vans, as part of its ambition to be net zero carbon by 2030.

The new Kangoo Z.E. vans will be primarily West London-based, working out of Sky’s Isleworth UK headquarters to support its local sites, with additional journeys further afield to the company’s Chilworth technology centre within the University of Southampton Science Park. Several will also be deployed at Sky’s Scotland sites in Livingston, Dunfermline and Uddingston. All of them  will be used by Sky’s facilities teams for an array of duties spanning cleaning to decorating and catering to mail distribution.

Sky is also progressing the installation of increased charging points throughout its locations, with its Osterley facility now boasting 95 chargers. Its pure-electric Kangoo Z.E.s will all be charged using renewable energy sources at on-site charging points.

Oliver Wanklyn, Senior Fleet Operations Manager, Supply Chain Operations at Sky, said: “These Renault Kangoo Z.E. vans take us another step closer towards our commitment to be net zero carbon by 2030. We’re very excited to introduce them and see them out on the road. With the unique livery that details their 100 per cent electric power they’ll be highly visible to the public, helping us to drive awareness of Sky Zero and importantly, inspiring others to #GoZero with Sky.”  

Vincent Tourette, Managing Director, Groupe Renault UK, added: “Renault has over a decade’s experience of 100 per cent electric commercial vehicles and we are delighted that our pioneering approach has influenced a company as forward-thinking as Sky to not only choose our vehicles, but utilise them for such an important role in determining the future direction of its fleet.”
