UK electric van sets new Guinness World Record

Webfleet has been awarded a Guinness World Record for the longest distance travelled by an electric van on a single charge. 

The 311.18-mile journey took 13 hours and nine minutes to complete in a Fiat E-Scudo with no modifications, driving an urban and rural route to replicate real-world conditions. 

“This remarkable achievement is testimony to the determination and technological ingenuity of all those involved,” said Beverley Wise, Webfleet’s Regional Director for Bridgestone Mobility Solutions. 

“The record demonstrates not only the capabilities of electric vans and advanced Bridgestone tyre technology for businesses and urban mobility, but also the impact that drivers can have on electric vehicle (EV) energy consumption.”
