This strategic agreement establishes CEF as the primary channel for Tritium's industry-leading DC fast chargers across the UK market. The partnership leverages CEF's extensive distribution network and 70+ years of electrical expertise to expand access to Tritium's proven technology, already deployed in over 47 countries worldwide.
Comprehensive Solution Delivery Across the UK

This comprehensive approach allows customers to source complete charging solutions as integrated packages, with coordinated delivery scheduling that eliminates the fragmented procurement processes of the past.
CEF's established logistics capabilities enable rapid deployment across the entire UK, with hardware and components typically delivered within 1-2 days.
