Teignbridge District Council has made a significant step towards net zero emissions and improving its sustainability with the arrival of a new fleet of fully electric vehicles. Provided by the council’s fleet and workshop partner Specialist Fleet Services (SFS), the new EV fleet features a combination of Ford E-Transit tippers and Vauxhall Vivaro Electric vans and will reduce the council’s carbon emissions by 58 tonnes per annum. The vehicles are part of the council’s ongoing contract hire agreement with SFS, which spans the supply of 56 vehicles, including refuse collection vehicles, kerbside recycling vehicles, vans and a sweeper for street cleansing. Together, we can drive towards a greener, more sustainable future for Teignbridge.”Bob Sweetland, managing director at SFS, commented: “This new fleet is helping Teignbridge District Council to achieve climate action targets and enhance its sustainability. The company operates its own specialist vehicle hire division, CTS Hire, for the provision of short- to medium-term municipal vehicles.
