JCB Group has opened a Kia Purpose-Built Vehicle (PBV) Centre at JCB Kia Ashford.
Kia Purpose Built Centres have been designed to meet the needs of commercial vehicle operators.
Kia has selected a limited number of retail partners nationwide to establish this specialist PBV network, with JCB Kia Ashford chosen as a flagship location in Kent.
Russell Cudd, Kia franchise director for The JCB Group, said: “We are delighted to have opened our Kia PBV Centre in Ashford and to offer this ground-breaking product range exclusively to JCB Kia customers across Kent.
“The PBV line-up will undoubtedly change the way businesses and private users adopt electric mobility, and our highly trained team looks forward to guiding customers through this exciting transition.”
The Kia PV5 Cargo achieved a double victory at the 2026 What Van? Awards, winning both ‘Van of the Year’ and ‘Compact Van of the Year’.
In addition to Ashford, The JCB Group operates Kia dealerships in Ebbsfleet, Medway, and Bromley.
