We operate around 600 vehicles of different sizes and ages within our fleet. Our immediate plan is to switch around 200 of vans to electric when they become due for replacement, but all our vehicles will need to be switched to reach net zero.
Ahead of this we are establishing an electric charging infrastructure across our sites. We are aiming to install 55 charging hubs to support our fully electric fleet. This has potential to be a shared charging infrastructure for use by the public sector. We will explore the use of hydrogen for our larger vehicles such as trucks and the diesel generators that provide back-up energy in case of emergency across our various sites. We will also explore the use of synthetic and bio-fuel substitutes to support the transition to zero emissions.
