Mazda expands network of dealer fleet specialists

Mazda Motors UK has added four new dealers to its fleet specialist network ahead of the launch of its electric vehicles. The new members are Arnold Clark Stirling Mazda, Vertu Mazda Redditch, Eden Mazda Taunton, and Yeomans Mazda Bexhill, joining three existing dealers to form a seven-strong network. The expansion aligns with Mazda’s plans to introduce the Mazda 6e, an upper-medium electric car, this summer, followed by the CX-6e SUV later in the year. The company aims to capitalize on growing business interest in EVs, with Jeremy Thomson, managing director at Mazda Motors UK, stating that the network will help meet anticipated local demand. Mazda is also working with dealers to ensure they benefit from increased sales and aftersales support for fleet customers. In addition to expanding its dealer network, Mazda has launched a new business contract hire (BCH) program to boost EV adoption among fleets and businesses. The initiative includes competitive pricing, with Mazda 6e rentals starting at £332 per month excluding VAT. Thomson noted that the program will help dealers serve fleet customers transitioning to electric vehicles more effectively. The Mazda 6e will be available for test drives at the Commercial Vehicle Industry Alliance (CCIA) event in 2026. Mazda’s moves reflect its strategy to strengthen fleet partnerships and accelerate the adoption of its upcoming electric models in the UK market.
