Snows Toyota provides University of Portsmouth with fully electric fleet

Snows Toyota are proud to supply the University of Portsmouth with a fleet of fully electric vans from Toyota’s Proace range, complete with bespoke equipment fitting for smart and sustainable operations across their sites.

The university approached our Waterlooville dealership with a focus on upgrading their ageing diesel fleet to significantly reduce emissions, whilst also hoping to create easier solutions for portable tools.

Snows Toyota acted as a one-stop shop for UoP, providing them with 23 Proace City EVs and 1 Proace EV, capable of keeping operations running smoothly with eco-friendliness at the forefront.

Liam Carter, Corporate Sales Manager at the Waterlooville dealership, said “Most dealerships simply deliver a standard van, leaving the client to manage the downtime and stress of organising third-party conversions. At Snows Toyota, we were able to provide a bespoke, fully operational fleet ready to serve the University of Portsmouth from day one.”

For each vehicle, we partnered with one of our trusted suppliers to fit internal modular racking, triple roof bars and onboard mobile tool charging, all with the purpose of simplifying and electrifying their mobility for any task their team may face – this was finished off with eco-centric custom livery on every vehicle, applied by a trusted local graphics company. 

Snows Toyota also wanted to ensure that the fleet was ready for the future, with integrated telematics and Toyota Service Plans to provide complete confidence in the vans providing the best mobility for the university.

Liam further said, “We want to appeal to all businesses as a commercial vehicle provider - regardless of what their industry requires, we can create a bespoke van to their specification.”
