Coventry, UK: Fraikin is spending £35m on 400 new vehicles to support its UK national short-term rental fleet. The new additions, which are all compliant with Transport for London’s Direct Vision Standard and have Fraikin’s digital Mysmartfleet technology, now means that 80% of the company’s rental fleet will be under a year old.
The vehicles include vans and trucks HGVs from major manufacturers, and bodytypes include refrigerated vehicles. Fraikin is also adding electric 3.5-tonners to the fleet.
Peter Backhouse, chief executive, Fraikin UK, said: “This significant investment clearly demonstrates the strength of Fraikin, our long-term commitment to the industry and our dedication to providing the very best mobility solutions for customers, providing access to the latest vehicles and the most diverse range of rental options available in the market today.
“Adding extra EVs to the fleet means we’re in a position to help businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact, alongside supporting those who may want to test the EV market before making longer term fleet decisions. This commitment to sustainability allows us to meet the needs of today but also contribute to a greener future across the industry.”
All the new vehicles are accessible via the company’s hubs, located in Bellshill, Coventry and Enfield.
