Fleets are gradually shifting towards more efficient vehicles, and the City of Albany is already leading this change by introducing 100% electric and hybrid vehicles. As this strategy progresses, more efficient vehicles and machinery will become mainstream, offering better capabilities, operational flexibility, and affordability.

Description

Being an early adopter and taking a strong leadership position may not have the most cost-effective results in the first cycle. However, each time fleet operators acquire and dispose of a vehicle; they influence the nature and quality of the used vehicle market.

The City will determine the role of each department in sustainability and their transition to a low-emission fleet. They will explore the operational, financial, and social opportunities of embracing low-emission vehicles.
