Request

Please provide data around what percentage of your vehicle fleet will be hybrid/fully electric in the 2025/26 tax year.

Response

The Council currently has a fleet of 60 vehicles comprising mainly larger refuse collection vehicles and smaller vans used by various teams across the Borough

Currently 4 smaller vans are now fully converted to electric so currently 7% with a much larger proportion of the larger fleet converted to Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO).

We will continue to roll out smaller vehicles as part of overall capital replacement programme to be replaced with electric where it suits our business need, recognising that we are a mainly large rural Borough with range being a current issue for larger vehicles requiring conversion to fully electric.
