Kangoo Van Z.E. again voted GreenFleet Awards ‘Electric Vehicle of the Year’

Another award winning van to congratulate this month is the 100% electric Kangoo Van Z.E. With sales of over 11,000 so far, it is Europe’s best-selling small electric van and winner of the title GreenFleet Awards ‘Electric Vehicle of the Year’ again this year. GreenFleet’s annual awards took place on 17th October at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.

As of June this year, the newly restyled zero-emission light commercial “working man's van”, features Renault’s styling identity. Part of the restyle consists of a refreshed and enhanced dashboard; and now owners can programme the battery to charge remotely to benefit from off-peak electricity rates using their computer or smartphone by way of the ‘My Z.E. inter@ctive’ pack.

GreenFleet’s Colin Boyton, one of the judges, said: “As well as winning last year’s Electric Vehicle of the Year award from GreenFleet, it scooped ‘Ecovan of the Year’ and ‘International Van of the Year’ accolades.  It is more than a worthy winner again.”

It’s plain to see why the judges, who included the editorial research teams and independent representatives from the Institute of Car Fleet Management, said the Kangoo Van Z.E. “was more than a worthy winner again”. With petrol prices on the up, perhaps there will be larger numbers of these electric vans making their way into mainstream fleets. Big congratulations to the Kangoo Van Z.E on winning the trophy for a second year running.
