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.
