Toyota and FleetEV support EV transition for Welsh local authorities

Toyota Professional is continuing its partnership with FleetEV, supporting local authorities in Wales in their electric vehicle (EV) transition.

FleetEV is providing Conwy County Borough Council with Toyota Proace Max electric school minibuses.

The companies have been providing public sector customers with EVs since 2023, with recent conversions including wheelchair-accessible school minibuses for Gwynedd Council and Proace vans for dog welfare teams in Merthyr Tydfil and Newport.

Neil Broad, general manager at One Toyota Fleet Services, said: “We offer one of the widest light commercial vehicle (LCV) ranges in the UK market today, combined with a choice of powertrains that includes hybrid, battery electric and ICE to meet the wide requirements of UK businesses and public sector customers. 

“Furthermore, our Proace vans are designed for easy conversion for specialist roles.

“FleetEV is realising their potential not to just meet its customers precise requirements but also to help them make a successful switch to electrified transport.”

Jarrad Morris, founder and chief executive at FleetEV, said: “Toyota’s electric commercial vehicles are helping Welsh councils make the switch to zero-emission fleets, from school minibuses to bespoke service vans.

“At FleetEV, we’re proud to support practical, cost-effective EV solutions that meet local authorities’ day-to-day needs while driving sustainability across Wales.”
