New Oscott ev fleets: cover for operators in B73
New Oscott businesses inside B73 get a named contact, agreed rates and 24-hour cover. Businesses running electric vans and cars who need recovery support specific to EVs. Everything runs off our own trucks on the Birmingham City Council rota. Trade callers here tend to be based at Jockey Road parades; private callers are usually on local shopping parades. 10 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Erdington is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of New Oscott drops end up. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B73 go on the deck, not on a rope.

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
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.
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
