A luxury motorhome dealership based in Stafford is providing electric vehicle chargers at its sales centre as part of a drive to reduce its carbon footprint.
Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld has installed 12 EV charging points at its site in Creswell Park.
Four chargers will offer customers the chance to top up their vehicles via the Monta app while at the same time reducing their traditional fuel consumption.
The remainder will be used by staff to cut the firm’s environmental footprint after it recently extended its fleet of leased staff company cars to include a high proportion of full electric and hybrid vehicles.
A family-owned business where environmental responsibility is paramount, Travelworld sees the investment in electric vehicle charging points as the next phase in its mission to reduce its CO₂ emissions.
The company’s purpose-built sales centre already features energy saving technology including solar panels, LED lighting and motion sensors.
In addition the site boasts a 100 per cent renewable wood pellet burning system. The biomass renewable energy system heats the entire site and uses 95 per cent less CO₂ per 1,000 kWh of energy than gas heating.
Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld Operations Director Erik Baxendale said: “The investment in electric vehicle charging points aligns with our values to reduce our environmental footprint.
“We are committed to providing our customers with excellent customer service from sales, right through to after care and that includes our environmental credentials.
“We have recently installed solar panels at our sales centre and are proud that we are making great strides in significantly reducing our carbon footprint.
“This is a long-term investment that will have a positive and sustainable impact on both our carbon footprint and overall utility costs for years to come.”
Travelworld is the UK’s largest dealership for Erwin Hymer Group motorhomes.
