Arnold Clark Innovation Centre
Arnold Clark’s commitment to a net zero carbon future resulted in the Group investing over £5 million into the creation of theiir first non-retail showroom in Glasgow’s West End.
The first Arnold Clark Innovation Centre opened in August 2021, where the focus isn’t on selling, but helping to educate customers about the changes to the automotive industry. Their second Innovation Centre, meanwhile, opened at their Stafford Motorstore in July 2022.
If you’re thinking about making the switch to electric, a team of alternative fuel experts, known as ‘innovation geniuses’, are on hand at these centres to answer any of your burning questions. They can provide clarity on areas such as range anxiety, charging processes, the latest government grants and much more. The Innovation Centres showcase a wide range of electric vehicles from a host of top manufacturers which visitors can book to test-drive and try out for themselves.
Arnold Clark is committed to ensuring its group of companies consider the social, economic, and environmental tenets of sustainability throughout all aspects of its business operations and has therefore set significant targets to achieve net zero. The Group plans to install over 500 electric vehicle chargers across the UK in an investment worth £23 million.
Arnold Clark customers will have access to the 'Arnold Clark Charge' network, which will be available to book safely and securely on a 24/7 basis. Eight rapid chargers, with the ability to charge up to 150kW, will be installed at larger Arnold Clark branches, with four to six rapid chargers installed at smaller branches.
Arnold Clark has also recently completed the acquisition of Scottish-based electric vehicle charge point installers, Bumblebee.
