Scottish Water orders electric transporter fleet from Stellantis
Stellantis notes that the transporters are not the normal variants that are available on the market but have been adapted for specific uses by Scottish Water. Among these adaptations are “fridges for water samplers, pipe racks, tow bars, hand wash stations, lockers and heaters to ensure Scottish Water personnel can perform their duties efficiently in all weather conditions.”
In the accompanying press release, Stellantis points to the range of why Scottish Water opted for the transporter vans, which are currently expected to drive over 100 miles per day on occasion. For that reason, the 217-mile range for the E-Scudo and 205 miles for the E-Doblo, coupled with the capacity to charge to 80% in 30 minutes from a 100kw rapid charger make a safe choice.
Elaine Pringle, Fleet Manager at Scottish Water, said: “Integrating FIAT Pro’s E-Doblo and E-Scudo vans into our fleet marks a significant step forward in our journey towards decarbonising our fleet. The specialised conversions of these vehicles meet our operational requirements that enable us to provide excellent water and waste water services for our customers, while the addition of electric vans also demonstrates our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and achieving net zero by 2040.”
