Allied Vehicles Group was established in 1993 and in 2008 it set up Zero Emission Vehicles to launch its range of electric taxis, vans and minibuses. This follows three years of research and development into Allied manufacturing and selling its own new electric vehicle range.Allied employs 360 people, operates from a 20-acre manufacturing plant in Glasgow and is the UK’s leading specialist vehicle manufacturer of wheelchair accessible cars, MPVs, mini and midi buses.
Allied is the largest supplier of wheelchair accessible vehicles to the UK-wide Motability Scheme and winner of the Motability Suppliers Award 2008. Through its taxi division, Cab Direct, Allied is also the leading supplier of modern-style hackney cabs to the taxi industry.
Allied has an annual turnover of over £50 million and is constantly evolving to meet the rapidly changing transport requirements for cleaner and more efficient transport solutions. Part of this change has included an additional 98,000 square feet factory adjacent to the existing production facilities which will be utilised in the production of Zero Emission Vehicles.
