Engineers will use the vans to service TV and broadband customers across the UK.
The purchase, made with the help of Dealer Midlands Truck & Van, aligns with the Sky Zero mission; to cut its carbon emissions and those of its suppliers by at least 50% within the next seven years.
Sky opted for the latest eVito van, featuring a 66kWH battery with rapid DC charging, due to its 162-mile range.
All 11 vehicles have been converted by Leicestershire-based Bott to incorporate the bespoke racking and telematics systems required by Sky.
Lorraine McNiven, fleet operations manager at Sky, said: “The size and specifications of the vehicle make it an ideal workspace for our engineers once it has been customised to our needs by Bott, and we can enjoy the confidence that comes with Mercedes-Benz manufacturing.”
Carol Kirk, vans fleet business manager, Midlands and South at Mercedes-Benz UK, said: “This vital service will include an in-depth product overview, charging guides and driving style tips, providing Sky engineers with an invaluable education into the world of electric mobility, as well as all of the features and benefits the eVito has to offer.”
