APSE Energy hosted a webinar on Developing a Fleet Decarbonisation Strategy post‑LGR, where we heard how Westmorland & Furness Council brought together vehicles, plant, and depots from four legacy councils and turned this complex starting point into a clear pathway toward a net zero fleet.
During the session, we heard from Austin Shields, Senior Manager: Fleet Services, Westmorland & Furness Council. Please see an outline of what Austin covered below:
