Harrogate, UK: Bettys Craft Bakery has put two electric temperature-controlled vans into its fleet. Bettys Craft Bakery is part of Bettys & Taylors Group, a family business running Yorkshire Tea, Taylors of Harrogate, and Bettys Café Tea Rooms.
Prohire’s vehicle hire and alternative fuels division, ProGreen, provided the vehicles with bodies built by Bespoke Bodies. ProGreen also provided a new electric van to the Cone Exchange, Bettys & Taylors community project which collects waste from local businesses, raising funds for local charities.
ProGreen fitted telematics to all three vehicles to provide remote fault diagnosis, tracking, accident detention and driver behaviour analysis, and allow ProGreen to monitor the vehicles and report on CO2 savings.
Paul Farr, Bettys product director, said: “From the outset, Prohire took time to understand our specific needs, particularly the importance of maintaining our product quality during transit, and we are pleased to now see these bespoke vehicles out and about in Yorkshire. Our family business has a long commitment to protecting our planet, and these new vehicles are a positive next step in our approach to reducing our impact on the environment.”
Michelle Miles, head, ProGreen said: “From the start of the relationship with Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate, we have worked with key stakeholders to understand their fleet needs and have delivered a bespoke solution. The new electric vehicles support their sustainability strategy as well as streamlining operations.
