Mitie is on track to transition its entire fleet of cars and vans to full electric within the next three years, becoming one of the first major organisations to achieve this feat.  

Almost 40% of the fleet is already fully electric – some 2,650 cars and vans – and fleet manager Heidi Thompson (left) is confident of hitting the company’s target of half the fleet being fully electric by March 2023. Her aim is to electrify the rest by 2025.

The business launched its Plan Zero strategy in 2020, outlining its commitment to reach net zero operational emissions by 2025.

As part of the plan, Mitie committed to switching 20% of its car and small van fleet, around 700 vehicles, to electric by the end of 2020, which it achieved three months ahead of schedule.
