Transitioning to an EV fleet is an exciting step forward, but it comes with important infrastructure considerations.

From charging speeds to installation requirements, creating a reliable and efficient setup takes careful planning and investment.

At our 3PL distribution centre at Redhouse in Doncaster, we’ve invested in a new charging solution that has transformed how we operate to ensure we maintain a reliable fleet to support our dual-temperature controlled solutions for the safe transportation of pharmaceutical products:

✅ 3 × 180kW fast chargers (540kW total charging capacity).

✅ 1–2 hour charging times, including for HGVs.

✅ Electric vehicles on the road twice a day without the need for offsite charging.

Even better, the system is partly powered using our own on-site solar energy generated from a 1.6MWh PV array of roof panels.

The net result is reduced electricity consumption, lower CO2 emissions, and a more efficient, sustainable operation with lower long-term energy costs.

A huge thank you to Heatworks Ltd, City Electrical Factors, and intelligent Charging Systems (iCS) for delivering the project on time and within budget.
