Ayvens Commercial Vehicle Show round-up

There were lots of new electric vans on display (as you might expect), so we’ve limited ourselves to picking out three brands that we were particularly interested in:

• •
  Attendees were among the first to see the new Kia PV5 van. Built from scratch to be all electric, it uses the dedicated E-GMP.S platform and allows for a range of configurations from panel van to people carrier.
• •
  Renault came to the show with serious intentions, as it premiered three new electric vans. The Trafic E-Tech is the classic shape but with an electric motor, while the Goelette is more multi-purpose and the Estafette is designed for city driving.
• •
  There was also a public debut for Flexis. You might not know the name, but it’s a new collaboration between Volvo and Renault with the Step-In Van - built on the a modular platform, this EV is designed for inner-city delivery with low step and 1.9 metre height.

We’re excited to see new brands entering the UK CV market and we hope to tell you more about these exciting vehicles soon.

While we’re on the subject of vans, we would also like to give a shout out to a number of exhibitors who were showcasing Ayvens vans around the show – great to see our brand on the Bott stand!

Switching to an electric fleet was one of the key topics of the show, with speakers covering everything from managing the transition to handling charging effectively. Whatever you wanted to know about electric motoring, there was someone who could help you.

It wasn’t all fleet industry names either. We heard representatives from local councils discussing semi-public charging and a great panel discussion featuring inspiring women from across UK businesses talking about EV challenges, opportunities and change.

Finally, we enjoyed the EV Café that was live at the show – and the Decarbonisation Hub run by GreenFleet.
