Scottish Water powers ahead with electric fleet

Scottish Water is powering ahead in its efforts to reach net zero emissions after its water treatment team in Orkney made the switch to electric vehicles (EVs).

A total of ten new EVs are now in operation across Orkney, including Westray, Sanday, Eday, North Ronaldsay and the Orkney Mainland.

Water treatment team leader on Orkney, Colin Luke, said: “We were very pleased to take delivery of the new electric vehicles and to get them out on the job as soon as possible.

“All the operators seem to be enjoying the new EV driving experience and are taking pride in helping Scottish Water reach our net zero targets.”
