Mitie smashes EV target months early
Mitie has accelerated past its target to convert 30% of its fleet to zero emission electric vehicles (EVs) by March 2022, three months ahead of schedule.
As a result, the business has increased its target to have 35% of its fleet electric in the same timeframe.
Mitie now has a range of electric cars, vans, and even a gritter, taking its total as of the end of 2021 to more than 2000 EVs, consisting of 15 different models – what it believes to be the UK’s largest fleet of electric vehicles. The vehicles are based throughout the UK, from the Scottish Highlands and Islands down to the Cornish coast, as well as EVs working on Mitie’s contracts supporting the UK’s Overseas Territories, including Ascension Island.
Mitie has also invested heavily in the UK’s EV charge point infrastructure, installing thousands of charge points for a range of customers, as well as at employees’ homes.
The transition to a wholly electric fleet is a central component of Mitie’s Plan Zero commitment to eliminate carbon emissions from its power and transport. Its current fleet of EVs reduces Mitie’s annual CO2 emissions by around 10,000 tonnes and the business has a detailed timeline to switch the rest of its vehicles to zero emission by 2025.
The Mitie Fleet Team has also put a series of measures in place to reduce the emissions of its existing petrol and diesel vehicles, such as a Telematics Driver Behaviour system that’s reduced diesel consumption by 75,000L and saved 19.5 tonnes of CO2 in one year.
In November 2021 it expanded its EV charging infrastructure capabilities with the acquisition of Rock Power Connections Limited. Building on its existing Engineering and Green Projects expertise, the addition of Rock Power will enable Mitie to deliver new high voltage electricity connections and
the renewal of electrical assets up to 132kV, supporting the installation of rapid EV charge points.
Peter Dickinson, Chief of Staff at Mitie, said: “Switching 30% of our fleet to electric by the end of March 2022 was already an ambitious target, so to have hit this milestone three months ahead of schedule is an incredible achievement and testament to the hard work of the Mitie Fleet Team.”
