We have taken delivery of a new fully electric Nissan Leaf car this week.

The car will be added to our ancillary fleet taking our electric ancillary vehicle total to four and replaces a diesel car.

The vehicle, which will be used as a company pool car, is supported by Transport Scotland’s ‘Switched On Fleets’ programme and reinforces our ongoing commitment to minimise the environmental impact from our operations and support air quality improvements in the city centre.

This new generation of Nissan Leaf has a 40kW battery and operates 100% full electric with zero emissions.

The addition of this vehicle will remove 1.5 tonnes of CO2 from our carbon footprint and eliminates other tailpipe emission such as NOx and particulates.
