New partnership supports electric van transition
Vanaways and Grosvenor are working together to support electric van transition by providing fleets with financial solutions and guidance.
The alliance leverages Vanaways’ extensive van stock and Grosvenor’s agile, human-centric underwriting and flexible finance solutions to deliver rapid, reliable funding decisions.
There are now more than 85,000 electric vans in the UK, with 12,584 electric vans sold in the UK year-to-date, which represents about 8.6% of all new van sales.
But despite this growth, many fleet operators still face challenges around charging infrastructure and upfront costs.
Electrification
Liam Nicholas, business development director at Vanaways, said: “Many businesses struggle with fleet electrification. Grosvenor’s approach to residual value and transparent monthly pricing makes the transition manageable, not scary. Our partnership essentially helps businesses go electric, providing the right vehicles and expert education on issues like range anxiety and charging infrastructure.
“This partnership is a genuine win-win. Grosvenor offers comprehensive fleet funding and end-of-life disposal services, which our clients truly value. They’re incredibly reactive and, being a people-centric business, we can even contact them outside of hours for help. We communicate daily, ensuring everyone stays informed on both issues and opportunities.
Giles Bolton, sales director at Grosvenor, added:
“Our partnership with Vanaways goes beyond typical introducer relationships. We collaborate closely on every opportunity, offering not just finance but also providing outstanding choice, value, and service to customers.”
