<\/span>Case Study 2: Rural Wales Network Maintenance Routes<\/span><\/h2>\nSituation:<\/strong> In rural parts of Wales, engineers regularly travel between widely spaced villages, with long distances between service calls.<\/p>\nAction:<\/strong>
\nUsing the Renault Master electric vans, engineers planned routes to match available fast\u2011charging infrastructure<\/strong> on major A\u2011roads and customer sites.<\/p>\nOutcome:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Engineers achieved daily mileage without needing midday charging.<\/li>\n
- Roadshows with local councils helped identify new chargepoint locations to assist future electric fleet growth.<\/li>\n
- Local customers noticed fewer older diesel vans and welcomed the cleaner vehicles passing through towns and villages<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Comment:<\/strong>
\nA field engineer commented: \u201cRange anxiety is gone \u2014 these vans get me to every customer and back without worry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Case Study 3: Midlands Depot Fleet Modernisation<\/span><\/h2>\nSituation:<\/strong> A Virgin Media O2 depot in the Midlands trialled electric vans through the winter months, a traditionally challenging period for EV range.<\/p>\nAction:<\/strong>
\nThe depot equipped chargers and integrated route\u2011optimisation software<\/strong> to schedule visits more efficiently, taking weather and charging needs into account.<\/p>\nOutcome:<\/strong><\/p>\n
