Alternatively Fuelled Fleet Strategy

Description

L&Q wishes to engage with the market for feedback on solutions to deliver (i) a strategy to transition the L&Q fleet to a range of alternatively fuelled vehicles (AFV); and (ii) creation of a strategy for the installation, maintenance and operation of its existing and new charging points.L&Q is seeking to engage with the market for feedback on plans to undertake an independent and comprehensive review of the current vehicle fleet, charging infrastructure, and usage to determine what alternative modes of zero-emission transport are viable options. Once suitable modes of zero-emission transport have been identified, a detailed road map for transition and continued sustainable operation may be required. Feedback from the market on anticipated timescales for delivery of the above, costings, data and information access will help to develop L&Q’s understanding of how it might approach this area of work.
