Hilti Australia will introduce 130 Škoda Enyaq Sportline electric SUVs to its national fleet over three years, following a global tender process that assessed the vehicles against the demands of its field-based operations.
The agreement will see deliveries progressively rolled out across 2026, 2027 and 2028, supporting Hilti’s fleet emissions reduction objectives.
Škoda said the Enyaq Sportline was selected for its combination of driving range, safety specifications, practicality and suitability for Hilti’s Australian operations.
For fleet managers, the partnership provides an example of a business aligning its emissions targets with operational vehicle requirements through a structured procurement process.
Operational requirements drive selection
Samir Kohi, General Manager of Hilti Australia, said fleet electrification formed part of the company’s broader sustainability strategy.
“Our customer promise is to be their best partner for Productivity, Safety and Sustainability. Sustainability is thus a key part of our long-term business strategy, and the electrification of our vehicle fleet is an important step in achieving our emissions reduction targets.”
Kohi said the vehicle selection satisfied both business and environmental needs.
“The Škoda Enyaq Sportline met all our operational requirements while also supporting our environmental objectives. We look forward to introducing the vehicles to our team across Australia.”
The three-year delivery schedule gives Hilti a staged introduction of electric vehicles across its national operations.
Factory colour removes the need for wrapping
The vehicles will be supplied in Corrida Red, a bespoke fleet colour aligned with Hilti’s global brand identity.
Providing the vehicles in the required colour removes the need for aftermarket wrapping, taking an additional preparation step out of the deployment process.
For organisations operating branded fleets, the arrangement highlights the value of including vehicle presentation requirements in procurement discussions alongside operational suitability.
Global relationship extends to Australia
Lucie Kuhn, Brand Director of Škoda Australia, said the agreement extended an existing relationship between the two companies.
“Hilti is a highly valued Škoda fleet customer in a number of markets around the world, and we are delighted to further strengthen that relationship here in Australia.”
“The Enyaq’s combination of practicality, technology and efficiency makes it a compelling choice for businesses looking to electrify their fleets, and we are proud to support Hilti on that journey.”
For other fleet operators, the key consideration is how electric vehicles meet the work required of them. Hilti’s selection places range, safety and practicality alongside emissions reduction, with the national rollout moving that assessment into everyday field operations.
