Oxfordshire-based electric cargo bike manufacturer Electric Assisted Vehicles (EAV), has appointed Halfords as its key UK fleet service, maintenance, and repair partner.
Through Halfords, EAV will offer its customers after-sales service, maintenance, and repair (SMR) packages including at remote locations.
The British designed and built EAV2Cubed has a capacity of two cubic meters and is capable of holding up to 170kg of cargo weight.
EAV’s customers include national delivery and facilities companies such as Amazon, Fed-Ex, DPD, Veolia, Evri, as well as councils such as Islington, Hackney, Dover and Westminster.
The firm says the partnership reinforces its commitment to its UK fleet customers, offering the best professional service possible, and supporting customers in switching from diesel and petrol vehicles to electric alternatives.
Adam Barmby, EAV CEO and Founder, said: “EAV is still a small but growing business, however, we have big expansion plans with our Future Transport Vision range of Urban Specific Vehicles.
“This partnership will allow us to offer service, maintenance, and repair from Halfords, a trusted large company, without losing our personal approach that is synonymous with EAV.”
Chris Oakley, Head of Commercial and Business Development, Halfords for Business, said: “We’re pleased to announce the partnership with EAV to support their fleet customers with service, maintenance and repair through our Halfords Mobile Experts.
“In line with the Halfords for Business strategy of helping to keep the nation’s workforce moving, this partnership helps organisations move to a future-proofed and environmentally friendly solution, whilst maximising fleet utilisation and demonstrating operational excellence.”
