How Hotpoint UK are transitioning their fleet to electric with Ford Pro™
53Ford Pro™ is supporting fleet customers on their journey to electric. By sharing experiences, we hope to help other businesses on the same path. Here, our customer Hotpoint UK shares their EV Journey.
We understand that every business is unique, with their own challenges and trajectories, and the shift to electric isn’t just about switching vehicles. It’s a transition that can impact working practices and culture, not just infrastructure and assets.
So, while we’re all working towards an electrified future, there are many different stories being made along the way.
To help tell those stories and, we hope, inspire others on the same path, we spent some time with our fleet customer Hotpoint at their HQ in Peterborough.
Hotpoint UK is the market leader for large domestic appliances. They service major brands including Hotpoint and Indesit with a nationwide fleet of around 850 vans driven by their engineers. Forty of those vehicles are now Ford E-Transits.
Fleet manager Cole Pemberton is a self-confirmed petrol head, EV driver, and very much Hotpoint’s electric champion. He’s also a pragmatist: Electrification is happening, so the best time to start is now.
