At Kelson Group, we’re always looking for ways to improve the experience for our residents, and we’re excited to share our latest step forward: the new Ford E‑Transit Maintenance Van now serving our rental communities in Kamloops!

 This isn’t just any van—it’s fully electric, incredibly efficient, and designed to help our maintenance team serve you faster, more quietly, and with less impact on the environment. And yes, it looks great pulling up to your building!

 Why It Matters to You

You might not think about our maintenance van often, but it plays a big part in how quickly and comfortably we can complete repairs and building work. Here’s how our new E‑Transit van is making a difference for you:

1. Faster, More Efficient Service

The van is equipped with onboard power, so our team can plug in tools right from the vehicle, no extra gear needed. That means faster response times and fewer hassles during repairs. It helps us get the job done quickly, so you can get back to enjoying your home.

2. Cleaner Air, Quieter Visits

Because the E‑Transit is fully electric, there are no tailpipe emissions, making your community cleaner and healthier. Plus, it runs much quieter than traditional vans, so you’ll notice less noise when maintenance is happening nearby.

3. More Cost Savings = More Building Improvements

This new van requires up to 45% less scheduled maintenance than a traditional gas vehicle. That means fewer mechanical issues and lower operating costs, which helps us direct more resources toward building upgrades and resident services.

 Supporting Our Certified Rental Buildings

All Kelson Group apartments in Kamloops are proudly part of the Certified Rental Building™ (CRB) Program—Canada’s only quality assurance certification for multi-residential buildings. It means we’re committed to providing safe, well-maintained, and environmentally responsible rental homes.

By adding the E‑Transit van to our Kamloops fleet, we’re further supporting the CRB’s standards for:

• Energy efficiency and sustainability
• Resident comfort and convenience
• Consistent, high-quality building maintenance

We’d also like to extend a special thank you to Visual Signs & Printing for the custom Kelson Group branding wrap on our new van. The professional design helps us stand out in the community and proudly reflects our commitment to service and quality.

It’s One More Way We’re Working for You

We believe in investing in the future, not just through buildings, but in every part of the resident experience. The Ford E‑Transit is one more tool that helps us deliver on our promise to provide quality apartments where our residents love to live.

So, the next time you see our new electric van pulling up, know that it’s helping us work a little faster, a little cleaner, and a lot smarter to help you live better.
