In this issue of LAPV we have the top stories and commentary from the world of local government fleet, including features looking at the delivery of Mercedes-Benz eEconic trucks to Leeds City Council and the purchase of 151 vehicles from Dennis Eagle by the troubled Birmingham City Council. APSE’s Rob Bailey also asks if now is the time to consider electric refuse collection vehicles for urban areas and Islington City Council’s Chris Demetriou calls for a ‘total mindset change’ when it comes to fleet decarbonisation. All this and much more.
