As fossil fuel vans enter a phasing out period their Electric replacements are stepping into the spotlight.
CVM World is already a leader in the manufacture of Electric Minibuses and we are bringing this same knowledge and expertise to the Welfare Vehicle Market.
Continue reading “The Future of Electric is Now!”We’re proud of the design and build quality of our Welfare Vans (also known as Mess Vans). We utilise Ford Transit, Peugeot Boxer and Vauxhall Movano vehicles as our panel van bases. Our Van Conversion specialists then convert them in to our popular Welfare Units.
Continue reading “Welfare on the Front Line”The fundraising efforts of British Army Veteran Steven Hughes were recently bought to our attention.
Having been impacted by a cervical spinal cord injury Steven has chosen to invest his time since leaving the army in tackling fundraising challenge after challenge, even gaining a couple of World Records in the process.
As a Welfare hire vehicle (sometimes known as Mess Van) our Peugeot Welfare Vans are a great platform for employee transport and facilities combined. We offer a range of Hire periods which are suited to those working on short to long term contracts.
Our Hire Welfare Vans are ideals for those who either need to bolster their fleet with additional vehicles without the need for permanent investment or require a Welfare Van purely for the duration of the contract
We’ve equipped our Welfare Vans for hire with Chapter 8 compliant livery. This means our vans are fitted with reflective strips along the side of the vehicle and Chevrons on the rear. It’s an important factor to consider when looking to Hire a Welfare Vehicle as not all have this signwriting fitted. It is however a legal requirement should your workforce be working on the UKs Highways and the vehicle be in a stationary position.
This isn’t exhaustive and it’s best to check prior to agreeing to a Welfare Vehicle Hire, whether you’ll need to have Chapter 8 Livery.
We’ve also fitted our Welfare Hire Vehicles with Towbars and Rhino Steps. Though minor additions to a Welfare Vehicle they do provide great benefits.
Having a Welfare Van on hire with towing capabilities will assist in transporting equipment to and around site. Equally the Rhino step aides in the on and off boarding of the workforce, a benefit that shouldn’t be understated when looking to avoid slips, trips and falls on a worksite.
Require a Welfare Van on short-term hire to fulfil a contract or replace a damaged fleet vehicle. We offer short-term rental through our sister company CVM World Rentals.

The construction industry like many has been impacted negatively by Covid, however in part due to large infrastructure projects like HS2 the High speed rail link between London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds it seems the sector is beginning to wake up.
Whether you operate within the private or public sector, your workforce need to be able to attend the worksite and have access to facilities including:
Continue reading “The Construction Industry is Waking Up”We all know that operating a fleet can be a costly experience, van maintenance, operating license, fuel cards, insurance.
Complying to LEZ and Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) is the simplest way to avoid the additional charge for vans, minibuses, campervans operating in active LEZ and ULEZ areas.
The great news is to support operators some cities like Greater Manchester have secured funding to support businesses.
