Details

Guidance to help local authorities understand the benefits of fleet electrification and how to transition from petrol and diesel vehicles.

For fleet electrification, local authorities need to:

• identify which vehicles are suitable for replacement with electric vehicles (EVs)
• formulate a procurement strategy based on whole life costs
• install chargepoints at council depots and review the options for charging
• implement supporting measures, such as driver and mechanic training
