Bartley Green ev fleets: cover for operators in B32
Under Birmingham City Council, commercial vehicles in Bartley Green run between Adams Hill trading units, customer sites and the A4123 corridor. EV Fleets here is planned around those routes rather than a generic city-wide promise. Kerb heights on A4123 decide whether we winch or drive on. Insurance work from Bartley Green gets a written condition record before the straps go on. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Birmingham City Council area. Second road option if A456 Hagley Road West is blocked: A4123.

We know a flat electric vehicle isn't always straightforward to move, and that getting it wrong can risk further damage. We take the appropriate care with loading and transport so your EV reaches its destination safely.
How the service works for you
Safe loading and transport
We take appropriate care when loading and securing electric vehicles, mindful of their different weight distribution and battery placement compared with a standard combustion vehicle.
- •Recovery for flat battery and charging faults
- •Careful handling reflecting EV weight and battery placement
- •Transport to depots, dealers or charge points
- •Support for mixed fleets running EVs and combustion vehicles
Supporting mixed fleets
If your fleet includes a mix of electric and combustion vehicles, we can support both under one call-out number, so you don't need a separate arrangement for each type.
Faults and warning lights
Electric vans and cars can throw up unfamiliar warnings that aren't always something the driver can safely diagnose. We'll help assess whether it's safe to continue or whether recovery is the sensible option.

Access and routing around Bartley Green
Bartley Green runs on A456 Hagley Road West, and almost every job here starts with working out where on it you are. Access off A4123 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Overnight, most work here is on semi-detached houses rather than main roads.
