EV Fleets · Curdworth B76
Curdworth operators: ev fleets 15 miles from base
Fleet downtime in Curdworth is measured in shifts, not miles. With the yard 15 miles away and access in via M42 J9, we build cover around the way your vehicles actually move through B76. Curdworth sits roughly 10 miles out from the city centre, so we rarely route through town to reach you. Access off A4097 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. Minworth is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Curdworth drops end up.

As more business fleets switch to electric, the recovery needs change slightly too – flat batteries, charging faults and unfamiliar warning lights are becoming a more common reason for a call rather than the traditional mechanical breakdown. We support businesses running electric vans and cars across Birmingham and the Black Country with recovery that takes these differences into account.
How the service works for you
Flat battery call-outs
Running out of charge away from a charger is one of the most common EV issues we see. Depending on the situation, we'll talk through whether recovery to the nearest suitable charge point makes sense, or a longer transport back to base.
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.
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
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Curdworth industrial park, the parking around Curdworth Locks, and the residential grid of logistics warehousing where drivers leave vehicles overnight. From the yard it is 15 miles to Curdworth, mostly dual carriageway. Gated yards at the Kingsbury Road corridor often have a height barrier; a gate code saves ten minutes. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Distances we work to here: 15 miles from the Oldbury yard, 10 to the city centre.
