Specifically, National Highways purchased 18 Proace vans and 40 units of the electric SUV. The authority wants all of its non-traffic officer light vehicles to be electric by 2027, while its corporate emissions should be net zero by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Proace Electric, Toyota\u2019s fully electric medium-duty van, is equipped with either a 50kWh or a 75kWh battery and delivers a WLTP range of up to 205 miles, catering to various operational needs. It is not clear which variant National Highways opted for. However, the press release does emphasise that the ‘Proace Electric offers generous cargo space and payload.’ It also mentions the ‘Smart Cargo’ system, which extends, allowing National Highways to transport all of its equipment, such as measuring poles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our operations run 24\/7 to keep roads safe, well maintained and free-flowing\u2014helping people reach their destinations safely and on time. These new vehicles will support that round-the-clock service, particularly for asset inspectors keeping vital infrastructure in check,” explained Andy Butterfield, Director of Operational Services at National Highways. “Just as importantly, they represent a major step in cutting our carbon footprint. [\u2026] It\u2019s a big shift\u2014and this investment proves we\u2019re committed to making it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neil Broad, General Manager One Toyota Fleet Services, said: \u201cIt is rewarding to partner again with National Highways and support their work across the country maintaining safety of our road network. As more businesses look to make the switch to electric vehicles, we have a team able to provide guidance and support along with one of the largest ranges of commercial vehicles available in the UK market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Highways has been working on switching its fleet to zero-emission. It previously received 50 Toyota bZ4X electric SUVs in 2024 and in 2023, <\/a>it took delivery of 307 zero-emission and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
