Fleet Management company VMS has purchased 1,000 commercial vehicles from Maxus, one of the biggest deals struck by the commercial vehicle brand in the UK to date.

Significantly, 60% of all Maxus vehicles purchased by VMS Fleet Management are from Maxus’ EV range with 500 e Deliver 3s and 150 of the larger e Deliver 9s joining the VMS fleet since September 2020.

The purchase of 1,000 Maxus vans by VMS is just one of a number of significant deals for Maxus over the past 12 months and follows the recent purchase of 750 fully electric commercial vehicles by DPD, made up of 500 Maxus e Deliver 9s and 250 Maxus e Deliver 3s.

Significant Investment

“The deal with VMS Fleet Management is an important one for Maxus and comes at an exciting time for the brand as our sales hit an all-time high,” explains Mark Barrett, general manager of Harris Maxus. “At Maxus we take pride in going the extra mile, be it through our customer service or our range and model choice.

“We also take the time to get to know our customers and their needs. Many companies across the UK are considering making the switch to EVs right now but some businesses do not yet have the infrastructure needed for a fleet of EVs. VMS is aware of this too and it is why it chose to purchase a fleet of Maxus Deliver 9s as well as our electric range.”

Martin James, Managing Director, VMS Fleet Management, commented: “This Maxus deal is a significant investment for VMS but one that we know will stand the test of time. We were hugely impressed by the range, reliability and versatility of Maxus vans, especially with the EV range as we’re currently expanding our electric fleet and we recognise the huge emphasis that the team place on customer service.

“Price, or more importantly, value for money, was obviously key and Maxus is incredibly competitive. We are delighted to be able to offer our customers a variety of Maxus vehicles, whether they’re looking for an EV with strong range, or a trusty diesel for longer journeys.

“We have also converted some of the Maxus vehicles into temperature-controlled vans so our customers in pharmaceuticals and within the food sector have additional support where required.”
