A.W. Lymn has announced plans to make its non-ceremonial fleet electric.
The firm first looked to introduce electric vehicles into its fleet when it took part in Nottingham City Council’s Electric Van Experience (EVE) in June 2021. The initiative, which runs until November 2022, is a 30-day free trial designed to allow businesses to try-before-you-buy as the region aims to be the UK’s first carbon neutral city by 2028.
Now, having enjoyed the experience, A.W. Lymn is in discussion with Mercedes to replace the majority of its non-ceremonial fleet with electric vehicles, starting with two electric vans due to join the business in the next six months.
A.W Lymn operates 27 funeral homes throughout Nottinghamshire and South Derbyshire.
Pete Clarson, commercial director at A.W. Lymn, said: “Our fleet of cars is at the centre of everything we do at Lymns, whether that be as part of our traditional or bespoke hearses, or the private ambulances on site, we use our vehicles daily and thereby cover a lot of miles.
“Therefore, it’s important that we make every effort to reduce our carbon footprint and electric vehicles are a great first step in the right direction.”
