Grosvenor
Leading the electric van revolution as market surges
As the UK electric van (eVan) market accelerates, driven by increasing model choice and government incentives, Grosvenor’s partnership with award-winning online van retailer Vanaways is providing signifi cant benefi ts for companies transitioning to electric vans. T e UK’s eVan market is demonstrating remarkable expansion,
with over 85,000 electric vans (under 3.5 tonnes) on UK roads. As of the end of June 2025, 12,584 electric vans (under 3.5 tonnes) had been sold in the UK representing about 8.6% of all new van sales in the UK. Despite this growth, the industry faces challenges like charging
infrastructure and upfront costs, with many manufacturers currently below the government’s ambitious ZEV Mandate target for 2025. Vanaways reports that 16% of its supported fleets are now
electric, directly hitting the 2025 Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate target – an achievement signifi cantly bolstered by its strategic partnership with Grosvenor. Liam Nicholas, business development director at Vanaways, said:
“Many businesses struggle with fl eet electrifi cation. Grosvenor’s approach to residual value and transparent monthly pricing makes the transition manageable, not scary. Our partnership essentially helps businesses go electric, providing the right vehicles and expert education on issues like range anxiety and charging infrastructure.” T e alliance leverages Vanaways’ extensive, competitively priced van stock and Grosvenor’s agile, human-centric underwriting and
flexible finance solutions. This ensures rapid, reliable funding decisions, even for new businesses. Giles Bolton, sales director at Grosvenor, added: “T is ‘human
touch’ approach, combining stock, fi nance and expert guidance, demystifies EV adoption, empowering more UK businesses to confi dently transition to electric vans and contribute to the UK’s green transport agenda.” T e deepening of their strategic partnership is leading to signifi cant
benefi ts for both companies and their diverse customer bases. T e alliance sees Vanaways acting as a key supplier for Grosvenor,
providing instant access to a large, competitively priced van stock, thanks to Vanaways’ direct manufacturer terms and substantial purchasing power. In turn, Grosvenor off ers Vanaways customers swift and fl exible fi nance solutions, including contract hire and fi nance lease. Liam added: “T is partnership is a genuine win-win. Grosvenor
offers comprehensive fleet funding and end-of-life disposal services, which our clients truly value. T ey’re incredibly reactive and, being a people-centric business, we can even contact them outside of hours for help. We communicate daily, ensuring everyone stays informed on both issues and opportunities. Giles said: “Our partnership with Vanaways goes beyond
typical introducer relationships. We collaborate closely on every opportunity, off ering not just fi nance but also providing outstanding choice, value, and service to customers.”
