Bensons for Beds is launching an electric vehicle (EV) home delivery pilot scheme as it begins planning to phase out all its petrol and diesel vehicles.
Bensons for beds are testing out the @Saicmaxus_uk eDeliver3 for rolled mattress delivery in London, Kent, Cambridge, Essex and Milton Keynes. I wonder if they will end up 'rolling them out' across the country? (see what I did there?) 😀
