The fire service has three fully electric vehicles and one hybrid vehicle.
An additional 14 electric vehicles are due to be delivered by the end of September.
It’s also hoped to start the process of buying another three vehicles before the end of 2025. This will bring Kildare County Councils electric vehicle fleet to 27. It is proposed to further increase the electric fleet in 2026.
Cllr Bill Clear urged that community wardens be provided with electric vehicles because this would raise awareness of EVs. KCC official Celina Barrett told the KCC meeting that the council has started to explore the use of alternative fuels in larger vehicles it uses.
