CPD Bodies Partners with The EV Café to Drive EV Innovation

Recently, we welcomed The EV Café team to CPD HQ and we’re thrilled to officially announce our partnership.

As a community dedicated to accelerating the shift to zero-emission transport, The EV Café aligns perfectly with our own mission to build smarter, greener fleets. From electric fit-out vans to full EV-ready welfare and crew conversions, CPD is proud to be leading the way in practical, future-ready vehicle solutions.

The EV Café Visits CPD HQ

To celebrate the new partnership, John and Paul from The EV Café toured our 8-acre facility and spoke with our founder and leadership team. From vehicle prep through to final fit-out, they got an inside look at how we’ve grown from producing a few hundred conversions per year to over 3,000 builds annually - and how we’re now scaling our electric offering for fleets across the UK.

What This Partnership Means

By joining forces with The EV Café, we’re stepping further into a network of innovators, educators and partners who share our belief in practical progress. It’s not just about being electric - it’s about delivering real-world, operational solutions that make the transition to EVs sustainable and scalable.

Whether it's a fully electric tipper, a panel van with onboard charging, or a long-range electric welfare conversion, CPD is proud to deliver vehicles that work from day one. We’re excited to help shape the future of the EV conversation through this new partnership.

Here’s what our Commercial Director, Tom Pearson, has to say:

“Partnering with the EV Café is a great opportunity to support the industry-wide shift to electric. At CPD, we’re building practical EV solutions that fleets can put straight to work - and with grants of up to £5K available, now’s a smart time to make the switch.”

EV Grant Support Available

Thinking of switching to electric? You could claim up to £5,000 off per van with the government’s Plug-In Van Grant – and we’ll guide you through the process from start to finish. Read more about our EV grant support here.
