Milk & More Wins Geotab Innovation Award for Electric Vehicle Implementation
Milk & More, the country’s leading online grocery and milk doorstep delivery service, has been awarded the “Geotab Innovation Award for Electric Vehicle Implementation” by Geotab, a global leader in connected transportation solutions.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, 18 May 2023 – The award which was announced at Geotab Connect 2023 was later presented to Milk & More’s CEO, Patrick Müller at the opening of its new Fulfilment Centre in Mitcham, in recognition of the company’s commitment to deploying electric vehicles across its fleet.
Patrick Müller, CEO for Milk & More, said: “We are delighted to have won this award in recognition of our 500-strong fleet of electric vehicles. Our electric fleet travels 10 million miles a year – the equivalent to 400 times around the world. By using 500 electric vehicles rather than diesel we are saving 4,335 tonnes of carbon and 1.8m litres of diesel.
“Investing in our delivery vehicles is just one of the ways we are helping our customers play their part in looking after the planet. From working with suppliers who care as much about being sustainable as we do, to reducing the amount of plastic we use, we’re proud to say that 80% of our products are sold in Zero Waste packaging that we collect, clean and reuse.”
Aside from investing in electric vehicles, Milk & More has become the first company in the UK to use the integrated road speed limiting system provided by LEVL Telematics. This, together with the active use of the Driver Challenge app has seen a 19% increase in the range of the electric fleet, meaning the business can deliver to more customers per round, needs less time to fully charge and therefore saves on electricity too.
David Savage – Vice President, UK & Ireland from Geotab, said: “Congratulations to Milk & More – it’s fantastic to see the investment the business has made in its fleet of electric vehicles. Milk & More’s fleet is connected to ‘myGeotab’ and the business is a heavy user of Geotab’s EV Charge Assurance dashboard, to help optimise electric vehicle utilisation and to help ensure EVs are fully charged only when needed. The business also uses the Geotab solution to help improve driver safety and minimise service maintenance and repair costs.”
The company is also improving its vehicle utilisation, by increasing the frequency of product delivery and reducing road lorry mileage by 35% by putting milk and products on the same lorry. As a result, HGV deliveries into Milk & More sites will reduce by over 13,000 per year, cutting down 650,000 miles and reducing our carbon footprint by 280 tonnes.
Milk & More combines the best of the traditional milkman, with the convenience of online shopping, with customers able to place, check and change their order up to 9pm the day before their next delivery, which Milk & More aims to deliver by 7am. The service is ideal for people who are looking to reduce their environmental footprint, with 97% of all volume sold in packaging that is either reusable, recyclable or compostable.

Humn and LEVL partner to offer competitive data-driven insurance for electric fleets
London, UK, 24th May 200: – Humn the real-time data-driven insurance provider for fleets, today announced its partnership with LEVL, the Authorised Reseller for the world’s leading provider of fleet management and vehicle telematics, Geotab. The partnership will enable Humn to have access to data from electric vehicles (EVs), in real-time, to offer an integrated and seamless solution.
Via the partnership, Humn will gather data on driver behaviour and miles driven recorded using the Geotab telematics device in EVs, to then quote fleets based on how safe their drivers and vehicles are. Each quote will be tailored to the data from each vehicle rather than a generic price, offering cheaper insurance to the EV market, which is traditionally higher due to the lack of claims data available.
Mark Musson, CEO of Humn says of the partnership; ‘Here at Humn we are constantly looking to the future of vehicles on our roads, and our partnership with LEVL is no exception. The number of EVs in fleets is only set to increase, and the insights that Geotab and Humn can provide together ensure that fleet owners have access to the most cost-efficient insurance policies available. This is made possible by our technology, operating in real-time and providing an increased level of data which, to date, has been limited in this field.”
Commenting on today’s news Andrew Pearce, Director and Co-Founder at LEVL said: ‘It is great to be working with an innovative company like HUMN, our customers can benefit when adopting the HUMN insurance platform, many of our connected fleets use Geotab to improve safety and driver behaviour and therefore can lower their risk and premiums with HUMN a WIN WIN for all”
Humn’s data-driven insurance management systems analyse thousands of risk data points such as environmental factors, vehicle control and driver fatigue to produce a 360-degree risk picture offering personalised premiums for every journey. The AI-driven solution saves time on fleet management and quickly identifies which drivers to reward, and which need support.
LEVL is the UK’s leading value-added Reseller of Geotab products and services. Geotab’s telematics technology is currently utilised by more than 40,000 customers around the world and is found in over 2.4 million vehicles globally. Processing more than 40 billion data points per day, Geotab customers benefit from data-rich insights that enable them to increase the productivity, safety and efficiency of their fleets.
