Date: 12 February 2024 | Author: Sean Keywood
Private hire firm Addison Lee has added 600 Volkswagen Multivan hybrid MPVs to its fleet.
The new vehicles will work alongside an existing 1,000-strong fleet of Volkswagen ID.4 EVs, and also 400 Audi A6s.
Addison Lee CEO Liam Griffin said: "As the first private hire operator in the capital to introduce electric vehicles at scale, we remain committed to enhancing our fleet and supporting our customers with their net zero journeys.
"Our investment in the Multivans not only provides our passengers with a sustainable version of the iconic vehicles we have always been known for, but reflects our commitment to electrification, with our entire standard fleet set to be zero emission capable by Spring 2024."
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles national fleet manager Craig Cavanagh said: "The Volkswagen Multivan is one of the few vehicles on the market that combines true space for up to six passengers with premium, durable quality. Hybrid powertrains ensure the vehicles can be used in low-emission areas, without hitting the bottom line of a company's tax liability."
