Scotland Leads the Charge in Electric Vehicle Race

The Leaf's Livery

LeasePlan is delighted to announce that Dumfries and Galloway Council has become the first council in the UK to add fully electric Nissan Leaf vehicles to its fleet, following the delivery of four of the innovative cars on Wednesday 20th April. This follows the delivery of an electric sweeper on Thursday 10th February.
 

The vehicles are provided by Automotive Leasing, our specialist public sector division and this latest contract forms part of a longstanding relationship between the Council and AL.  The electric vehicles will be added to the council’s existing 100 car fleet and will be made available for use by employees. NHS staff will also be able to use two of the vehicles, which are based at Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary.
 

The Council has installed dedicated charging points for
the vehicles

We are looking forward to the council’s feedback on using these revolutionary vehicles and we will continue to post updates on their progress, as well as other orders that we are working to secure around the UK.
