Municipal fleet greener
Long ago the City Council decided the city guide towards a model of sustainable development, following the relevant guidelines contained in the Local Strategy to Combat Climate Change, and especially the reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
Murcia, which stood at the head of the Spanish municipalities with the highest number of electric and hybrid vehicles for municipal use, reinforces this commitment now with the addition of maintenance of green areas to sustainable urban mobility.
This is not the first municipal service that adopts this measure of respect for the environment.
The fleet of "green vehicles"-hybrid, electric or LPG-run for months in street cleaning and waste collection or the entire fleet of public transport buses.
The official City cars, those for general services, ALEM or attached to using the Mayor, are also cars that meet the guidelines of sustainable mobility.
The electric vehicle aims to become the main alternative to the challenges posed by climate change and the scarcity of fossil fuels.
Currently, the traditional transport accounts for 28% of global energy consumption and 34% of CO2 emissions, hence the importance of fostering global solutions that reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
