Just 13 per cent of blue light fleet is electric or hybrid, says research

Research conducted by Emergency Services Times, in partnership with Cenex, has revealed that only 13% of the existing emergency service fleet is electric or hybrid.

The Freedom of Information request went to 108 emergency services and had a 95 per cent response rate.

The research asked how many electric or hybrid vehicles the emergency services planned to buy each year and how much they will spend up to 2030. In nearly 70% of the responses, services said they didn’t know what they planned to spend, wouldn’t say, or said it was wrapped up in wider plans not yet confirmed.

Only four services said how many electric or hybrid vehicles they plan to buy with a year-by-year costed plan.
