Businesses in Bristol are being offered free trials of electric vehicles (EVs) ahead of the introduction of the city’s Clean Air Zone (CAZ) later this year.
Bristol City Council has launched a scheme allowing companies, charities and voluntary organisations to try out an electric car or van for a period of two months, as part of efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality in the city.
The £3.2m initiative is fully funded by National Highways and will run for two years. The rental fleet will include a choice of different sized electric vans, taxis and cars suitable for smaller businesses.
