Scottish Water is powering ahead in its efforts to reach net zero emissions after its water treatment team in Orkney made the switch to electric vehicles (EVs).

A total of 10 new EVs are now in operation across Orkney, including Westray, Sanday, Eday, North Ronaldsay and the Orkney Mainland.

These join 96 other vans that are already in operation across the organisation, with aims to increase that number to 179 by the end of this financial year. In addition, a total of 135 Scottish Water sites have chargers installed, with plans for 400 sites to cater for the fleet by 2028.
