Gwent commissioned a total of 63 points to top up what is the world’s largest fully electric Delivery Fleet (circa 100 vehicles) which last year delivered over 2.6 million parcels across the capital.

Following a successful bid to Innovate U.K. the business received a total of c.£1m in funding which has been used to install a the 63 smart-chargers as part of a Low Emission Freight Trial.

Business Development at Gnewt Cargo, said:

“Gnewt has been through a rapid growth phase over the last 8 years of trading which in turn has put greater focus on the way in which our ever-increasing electric fleet recharges. I was impressed how EO tackled this unique challenge and how the innovative yet cost-effective solution was presented.”

As part of the project, EO Charging unveiled a number of key innovations for its smart charging solutions including advance load management, priority charging and demand side response. The introduction of this smart-tech has been used to combat some of the key challenges faced by large fleet operators when looking to electrify vehicles.
