UK Power Networks Services has introduced the first electric vehicles and charge points into its fleet at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airport depots, along with charge points at its London City airport depot.
This follows the announcement that UK Power Networks is trialling eight electric Renault Kangoo vans in its operational fleet, to be powered by on-site solar generation at six locations, to improve air quality for future generations.
The energy solutions company, UK Power Networks Services, operates and maintains the electricity networks at London’s airports. Staff will use the EVs to carry out their work, which will improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions caused by ground transport in and around the airports.
Through the introduction of electric vehicles into the UK Power Networks Services fleet, the company will help the airports reduce their overall carbon emissions and support them in achieving their sustainability ambitions.
