Cities and municipalities are increasingly relying on low-emission vehicle fleets. Municipal vehicles with electric drives – from refuse collection vehicles to sweepers – make an important contribution to compliance with local environmental regulations and at the same time reduce operating costs in daily use.
The EU Directive 2002/49/EC on noise pollution and the Clean Vehicles Directive set emission and procurement targets for municipalities. Funding is available, for example, through the KsNI or regional programmes.
