Decarbonising Blue Light Fleets
Decarbonising Blue Light Fleets
Thursday 15th October at 10.30am

Blue light fleets continue to face challenges with the deployment of electric vehicles, as most continue to operate a majority petrol or diesel fleet. Each branch of the emergency services has very different operational needs and during this webinar, sector experts discuss how they are matching technology to day-to-day needs, securing the right infrastructure, and adopting a long‑term plan that balances performance, cost and sustainability.
