Vauxhall Mokka EV added to Europcar’s ‘Delivery & Collection’ fleet

The Vauxhall Mokka EV has been added to Europcar Mobility Group’s fleet of ‘runner’ vehicles for its ‘Delivery & Collection’ service.

The service involves electric cars and e-bikes being used by the company’s ‘hikers’ to facilitate the convenient delivery and collection of vehicles for customers.

In 2024, Europcar drivers for its delivery and collection service, travelled more than 28,000 miles on electric bikes and more than a million miles (1.09m) in electric cars – all journeys that would historically have been covered by internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

“At Europcar we are taking a holistic approach to reducing the environmental impact of mobility,” said Tom Middleditch, head of electric mobility, Europcar Mobility Group UK.

“As well as increasing the number of low and zero tailpipe emissions vehicles on our rental and company car fleets and installing EV charging points at our stations, we are cutting carbon from our day-to-day operations.

“Electric vehicles for our delivery and collection service play an important role, and the Vauxhall Mokka EV is a great addition to the ‘runner’ fleet.”

Europcar’s Delivery & Collection service is available from branches nationwide and for all types of vehicles, including cars, vans, and electric vehicles.

“Transport accounts for such a significant proportion of carbon emissions, that it is vital everyone in the industry makes meaningful changes as soon as possible,” added Middleditch.

“And increasing the number of dedicated electric vehicles on our delivery and collection fleet, with the addition of the Vauxhall Mokka EVs, is an important step in meeting our environmental goals.”
