To coincide with COP26, WeFlex, one of the largest suppliers of vehicles to Ride-Hailing drivers, pledges a 100% Electric fleet by the end of 2024*
Their fleet, which is currently over 60% electric, is transitioning to EV’s rapidly but the pledge is a further commitment to get themselves to 100% electric faster.
WeFlex are already committed to only buying Electric Vehicles and put hundreds of EV’s on the roads every year, but it’s going to take a big push to hit their emission free target.
The EV market is evolving rapidly, WeFlex supplies a variety of the latest Electric Vehicles including the Tesla Model 3, MG5 Long Range and Kia e-Niro. To date, WeFlex’s EVs have completed over 7.5 million zero emission miles; this has prevented over 1 thousand tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere (equivalent to the weight of 203 elephants!).
Pledging to be 100% Electric is not WeFlex’s only sustainability initiative, they also plant a tree for every EV they sell in Alladale Wilderness reserve, Scotland.
Founder and CEO Nicko Williamson said: “To secure global Net Zero by mid century EV’s need to be widely adopted and the Ride-Hailing market is a perfect market to accelerate this change. We believe EV’s are the way forward. For Ride-Hailing drivers who generally complete in excess of 30,000 miles a year, moving to EV’s makes a big difference to emissions and air quality. We are excited to make this commitment to make our contribution to the UK moving to Net Zero.”
