“Working with Royal Mail to install EV infrastructure at their UK sites will allow them to accelerate towards an electric future and hopefully inspire other businesses to follow suit.”
For his part, Royal Mail fleet director, Paul Gatti added: says: “We chose to work with EDF – not just as a supplier – but also as a solutions partner to implement our new sustainability strategy.
Over the three years we are confident that, alongside EDF, we can deliver the infrastructure needed to power Europe’s largest commercial fleet of EVs.”
