VQS supported fleet logistics for Ford at the 2026 TCS London Marathon, overseeing the deployment and management of 75 vehicles across the event.
Ford, the Official Electric Vehicle Supplier, utilised a fleet including the Explorer, Capri and E-Transit models, with VQS responsible for end-to-end logistics, including vehicle delivery, collection and readiness.
The event saw almost 60,000 runners take part, alongside large volumes of spectators, requiring complex coordination across a closed-road route stretching from Greenwich to Buckingham Palace. More than 20 vehicle crossing points and strict road reopening phases, running from 4:00am to 8:00pm, formed part of the operational challenge.
VQS ensured all vehicles were in position on time and sufficiently charged or fuelled to support operations throughout the eight-hour race window, managing the requirements of a large electric fleet within a high-density urban environment.
Simon Jackson, managing director of VQS, said: “Firstly, congratulations to everyone who took part in this year’s marathon and enhanced its legacy as the world’s largest one-day fundraising event.
“It was exciting for us to support Ford once again during this highly charged event, as we helped manage the complex logistics of sourcing, delivering, charging, and/or fuelling each vehicle. Thanks to our extensive planning and expertise in fleet management, we were able to assist Ford and help make the event a success.”
