Scottish Water has added 111 vans from Fiat Professional to its fleet.
The new vehicles include 69 Doblos, 39 electric E-Doblos, and three electric E-Scudos.
Conversion work has been carried out so the vans are fit for purpose, including the addition of fridges for water samplers, pipe racks, tow bars, hand wash stations, lockers, and heaters.
Scottish Water fleet manager Elaine Pringle said: “Integrating E-Doblo and E-Scudo vans into our fleet marks a significant step forward in our journey towards decarbonising our fleet.
“The specialised conversions of these vehicles meet our operational requirements that enable us to provide excellent water and waste water services for our customers, while the addition of electric vans also demonstrates our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and achieving net zero by 2040.”
Fiat UK managing director Damien Dally said: “We are excited to support Scottish Water’s transition towards net zero. The customised Fiat E-Doblo and E-Scudo vans are designed to meet the diverse needs of their operations while enhancing performance and reducing carbon emissions.
“Our E-Scudo and E-Doblo vans, with their impressive range and rapid charging capabilities, are particularly well-suited for Scottish Water’s transition to greener, more efficient fleet solutions.”
