Northgate is to exhibit at next month’s Great British Fleet Event to help fleet managers with their own Drive to Zero.
The vehicle hire and mobility solutions specialist is one of a number of fleet service firms exhibiting at the show, which takes place on 29 March 2022 at Novotel London West and includes unmissable Masterclass Conferences and a fleet-focused exhibition before leading into the prestigious Fleet World Great British Fleet Awards 2022 in the afternoon.
Northgate’s focus in the exhibition area will be on supporting fleet operators as the journey towards electrification continues for light commercial vehicles.
While the current vehicle supply shortages may change the pace at which fleets plan to introduce change, advance planning is more important than ever – in particular to accommodate a period of transition where ICE and EV vehicles will be needed.
At Northgate, the business can offer both powertrains – and a widest choice of vehicles tailored to your fleet needs.
The business is continuing its transformation into a specialist B2B customer-centric LCV mobility provider, and has been building the foundations for its own electrification journey, alongside those of customers.
Northgate is already working with EV industry experts to ensure that it can support fleets in the right way.
A company spokesperson said: “Adding EVs to your fleet should form part of a wider mobility solution. The evolution in technology means it is important when operating EVs that whole life costs are considered, from initial capital outlay through to running costs versus ICE and residual values. Being able to change up to the latest models as technology improves is an important consideration.
“Ownership or contract hire will commit fleets to years in vehicles that will have been superseded by newer more capable and cost-effective models. Northgate flexible hire packages provide the opportunity to change vehicles as technology evolves.”
Working closely with OEMs, Northgate is also continually adding to its EV range to meet customer needs across all electric LCV vans, conversions and electric cars. They’re available on flexible and minimum term hires so that operators can make the right choice for your fleet.
Servicing and maintenance is a key consideration for running EVs, so Northgate has trained EV technicians in each workshop. It’s also invested in bringing EV infrastructure solutions to customers. With ChargedEV recently joining the group, it’s able to offer a turnkey solution that is also hardware and energy-agnostic to suit needs.
The business also has a solution to meet on-the-go charging needs – with a combined fuel and electric chargecard available that is accepted at over 1,000 rapid chargers and 3,000 fast chargers.
The company added: “Our proposition is designed to let customers focus on their business whilst we focus on running their fleets. Northgate customers benefit from services and agility not possible to those who buy, or contract hire their fleets. We’ll be at the GBFE to talk to fleet managers and help them with their own Drive to Zero. Whatever their needs, Northgate customers know they can rely on our dependability and flexibility.”
