How FOR EV is Fuelling Network Rail Scotland’s EV Fleet

Rapid deployment

The first hub at Irvine was delivered in an impressive nine weeks, a testament to FOR EV’s commitment to rapid and efficient project delivery.

With the assistance of utility contractor Energy Assets, we ensured 24/7 uninterrupted access, maintaining Network Rail Scotland’s total operational capacity.

“We’re thrilled to have played a pivotal role in this innovative project, ensuring seamless execution and uninterrupted access to charging facilities,” says Brian Ward, Managing Director for Construction at Energy Assets. “We’re committed to supporting Scotland’s transition to sustainable transportation.”

The initiative forms part of Network Rail’s National Road Fleet Transformation Programme, which aims to transition fleet cars and vans to zero-emission vehicles.

FOR EV’s role includes installing, operating and maintaining the advanced charging systems for years to come. The project showcases FOR EV’s ability to provide bespoke solutions to complex operational needs, using industry-leading technology to withstand adverse Scottish weather conditions. 

Support from Scottish National Investment Bank

The Scottish National Investment Bank, FOR EV’s principal investor and a key partner in this project, supports the company’s mission to accelerate Scotland’s journey towards net zero.

With transportation being the UK’s most significant contributor to carbon emissions, FOR EV offers a comprehensive solution for fleet owners and operators. This includes grid connection, installation, service and maintenance, insurance, 24/7 support, 98% uptime and detailed management information reporting.

Andy Clapp, Portfolio Director at The Scottish National Investment Bank, highlights: “Supporting Scotland’s journey to net zero is one of our key missions. We’re proud to be part of this innovative project by FOR EV, which exemplifies innovation in decarbonising transportation, helping create a cleaner future.”
