Kelly Executive’s V-Class Extra Long Wheelbase fleet have now all been retrofitted with bespoke fabricated partitions between chauffeur and passenger compartments for increased safety for both our staff and patrons.
Kelly Executive have adapted their fleet of Mercedes V class vehicles by fitting a high-grade separation material to the driver’s cabin, coupled with a new vehicle preparation regime involving disinfection of passenger and drivers’ areas prior to any journey. The vehicle will give optimum protection to our guests.
The Mercedes V class is the only vehicle that is consistent with UK government guidelines on social distancing. Rear seated passengers are separated from the driver by 2.4 meters.
The vehicle cabin separation screen is fitted from vehicle roof to the floor and will stop any large airborne virus particulates from entering the passenger area from the driver’s cabin.
Please see below, answers to important questions we have had from clients.
