Description

North Northamptonshire Council's fleet service comprises of around 270 vehicles (62 HGV and 208 light and specialist vehicles) operating from three main depots. The council also has another 100+ other vehicles that are currently being held by other service areas outside the Fleet Team in services such as Housing and Country Parks and the latter vehicles are mainly owned outright as opposed to leased like the majority of the main fleet. These numbers exclude continued and spot hire vehicles. The entire council fleet is in the process of being moved under the management of Fleet services.

We are seeking an options appraisal that will identify and evaluate optimal pathways to decarbonising the council fleet and enable the council to formulate a future procurement strategy based on whole life costs. The document will be for internal use to inform officers and members.

As a result of the options appraisal, we wish to be able to take a strategic approach to optimizing costs, engage effectively with new technologies to transition the operation of our fleet (ideally) to zero emissions, by 2030, understanding what the associated costs/savings and risks are likely to be.

The final output will be a fleet decarbonisation options appraisal that provides evaluated approaches to decarbonisation with full business cases for any required investment.
