Success Stories Group 1 BMW Group 1 BMW DPL Group provided a comprehensive suite of services covering every facet of the Group 1 BMW EV infrastructure project. Main Contractor: DPL Group Ltd Project Value: £1.8 million Services: Electrical DPL Group’s design, supply and installation of the latest cutting-edge EV charger equipment The longstanding relationship with Group 1 has been anchored in the provision of high-quality reactive maintenance services, extending across several years. However, it was a pivotal moment when Group 1 embarked on a substantial project to establish a comprehensive BMW EV infrastructure, a significant endeavor driven by the evolution of electric mobility in the automotive industry. Recognizing the magnitude of this project and the need for a partner who could deliver a turnkey solution, Group 1 turned to DPL. Their decision to invite DPL to participate in the tendering process for this project was a nod to the trust and confidence that had developed over the years. Following a competitive tendering process, DPL emerged as the successful candidate, securing the BMW EV infrastructure project—a testament to their capabilities and the commitment to delivering exceptional service. Services Initial Site Survey DPL Group’s service offering commenced with an examination of the site’s existing infrastructure. This initial step involved comprehensive site surveys and detailed reports. This information was pivotal in planning and designing the new EV infrastructure. It provided crucial insights into how to optimise the installation process, minimise disruptions, and ensure the efficient integration of the new equipment with the existing site setup. Applications and Management of New Electrical DNO Supplies DPL Group took charge of liaising with the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to facilitate necessary electrical supply upgrades for the BMW EV infrastructure. Managing DNO applications and negotiations demanded in-depth technical knowledge and a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements. DPL’s expertise ensured the project had the necessary electrical resources to function efficiently and accommodate the anticipated demand.
