TPS, the parts business of Volkswagen Group UK, has taken further steps to electrify its delivery fleet, doubling the volume of electric vehicles on its 680-strong fleet over the past 12 months.
Following successful pilots with a number of CUPRA Born and Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo models, TPS is supercharging its parts deliveries with more than one in ten vehicles on the fleet now electric.
This means that across the UK’s 83 TPS centres, which provide genuine Volkswagen Group parts for independent workshops and bodyshops across the UK for vehicles from the Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, SEAT, CUPRA, Škoda and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brands, 88 EVs are now in active service. These include CUPRA Born and ID. Buzz Cargo models, as well as the all-new Volkswagen eTransporter.
Catherine Baker, one aftersales director for Volkswagen Group UK, said: “The addition of the new EVs is a major boost to our strategy to electrify the TPS delivery fleet. Plans to accelerate our EV journey help to pave the way for our business to cut significantly its UK carbon footprint, driving the transformation of our delivery service that will benefit both the planet and our customers.”
