Description
The Sustainable Fleet Strategy is a comprehensive plan that underscores the City of Kelowna's commitment to environmental stewardship in its corporate fleet management practices. By prioritizing environmental considerations in vehicle procurement and replacement, the strategy aims to curb greenhouse gas emissions. In 2023, the city's fleet accounted for nearly half of its corporate emissions, highlighting the urgent need for action. Beyond environmental gains, transitioning to a greener fleet offers economic advantages such as reduced fuel and maintenance expenses throughout a vehicle's lifespan. Moreover, it fosters social benefits like enhanced air quality and paves the way for widespread adoption of electric vehicles, bolstered by the city's leadership. Aligned with the Government of Canada's target for all light duty vehicle sales to be zero emission by 2035, the strategy positions Kelowna to adapt to a shifting automotive landscape. As manufacturers respond to this mandate, the vehicle market is poised for significant transformation. The Sustainable Fleet Strategy ensures that the city remains proactive in transitioning its corporate vehicles, capitalizing on emerging options. Additionally, the strategy evaluates existing infrastructure to support this transition and anticipates future demand, ensuring Kelowna is well-prepared for the transition ahead.
