Troy Wood from Contact Energy gives members of CCDHB’s Transport service the rundown on the electric cars.
Capital & Coast DHB has become the first organisation in Wellington to take up Contact Energy’s electric vehicle fleet trial for businesses.
“We currently have fleet vehicles – ranging from an electric bicycle, to small hatchbacks, and a delivery truck – at our sites across Wellington, Porirua and Kapiti,” said Corporate Services general manager Thomas Davis.
“They are used by a range of teams including community nursing, community health, and other outreach services. We’re now looking to see if electric cars can meet our transport needs, and if they would make a suitable addition to – or replacement for – our current fleet.”
The trial is the latest development in the DHB’s ongoing work to save energy, and be more sustainable and environmentally-conscious.
