Ace Plant, one of the UK’s leading specialists in sustainable electric vehicle (EV) solutions, is proud to announce the acquisition of the hire division and brand title of Electric Wheels. This strategic expansion cements Ace Plant as the number one go-to hire provider for the UK outdoor event sector, offering the largest fleet of electric utility vehicles and comprehensive ancillary equipment nationwide.

Driving the future of event mobility
With this acquisition, Ace Plant now manages the UK’s largest fleet of electric utility task vehicles (UTVs), golf buggies and associated electric vehicles, fully charged and ready for deployment across the country. The fleet is tailored to serve a wide spectrum of sectors – from music festivals and agricultural shows to corporate events and public services – delivering on-demand, emission-free transport solutions.

The move positions Ace Plant as the most comprehensive, full-service EV hire specialist in the UK, offering everything from all-electric buggies to essential ancillary equipment, making the company a true one-stop shop for event organisers and logistics teams.

George Wheeler, Managing Director, Ace Plant Ltd, comments: “This is a divisional acquisition. We have acquired the hire division and brand title of Electric Wheels to expand our EV offering. Electric Wheels are stepping away from hire, and we’re stepping in. This is a deliberate part of our growth strategy and ambition to lead the EV hire market for the event industry in the UK.

“We believe we’re the only EV hire company in the UK doing what we do at this scale. And with 95 per cent of our fleet being owned outright, means minimal cross-hire, maximum reliability, and total control.

“Nationally, we continue to grow our presence with high-quality service and sustainable values. And with sustainability and service at the core of what we do, Ace Plant’s commitment to greener, smarter mobility runs deep. With a long-standing reputation for safety, sustainability, and operational excellence, the company has earned the trust of industries from construction to agriculture and is now setting that benchmark in the events sector.

“We like to think we’re safer, greener, and more sustainable than many others in the hire space,” adds Wheeler. “That ethos defines who we are. We offer ‘Tailored Hire Solutions’ anytime, anywhere. We are not just about what’s in our fleet. If we don’t have it, we’ll find it. That’s our service promise.”
