Salisbury City Council has expanded its fleet of vehicles by adding 4 new EV electric vans. This significant milestone means that half of the Parks Team’s vehicle fleet now operates on electricity. The council opted for Ford Leader Transit 350 L2 vans, acquired through Hendy Ford on a 5-year lease. Complementing these electric vehicles is 1 hybrid electric van purchased in 2021, aiding in the team’s daily park maintenance activities such as gardening, strimming, and safety checks.
The addition of these vehicles underscores the council’s dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and embracing a more environmentally friendly approach in Salisbury. With aspirations to progressively transition all council-owned vehicles to electric power, the City Council is prioritizing sustainability.
