Mere Green ev fleets: cover for operators in B75
Mere Green carries a lot of working traffic — deliveries into Mere Green Road retail parades, trade counters off A5127, and vehicles parked overnight on shopfront parades. Businesses running electric vans and cars who need recovery support specific to EVs. This page sets out how we handle that work here rather than in general. From the yard it is 13 miles to Mere Green, mostly dual carriageway. Loading on A5127 needs a safe run-off; near the A5127 corridor that usually means the side road. Building stock here is mainly shopfront parades, with modern retail units on the edges. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up.

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.
Access and routing around Mere Green
A suburban area like Mere Green throws up two kinds of recovery: kerbside and yard. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Mere Green or across to Four Oaks, whichever you nominate. Second road option if A5127 is blocked: A453. That approach is why Mere Green repeat callers ask for the same driver.
How the service works for you
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.
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.

Questions from operators in Mere Green
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Mere Green?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Mere Green itself or in Four Oaks, but we will run further if that is where your repairer is. Give us the destination on the call so it is inside the quoted price.
What if the EV shows a warning light rather than a flat battery in Mere Green?
We'll help assess whether it's safe to continue driving or whether recovery is the better option.
Can you support a mixed fleet of EVs and petrol or diesel vehicles in Mere Green?
Yes, we can be a single call-out number covering your whole fleet regardless of fuel type.
Is Mere Green closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 13 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 9 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
Do you understand the loading differences for electric vehicles in Mere Green?
Yes, we take care around the weight distribution and battery placement specific to EVs when loading.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Mere Green?
Not always. For collections from shopfront parades or a unit near Mere Green Road retail parades we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
