SNP's green vision for public vehicles goes downhill fast

摘要

A Scottish National Party (SNP) pledge for all public sector vehicles to run on "green" fuels within the next decade has fallen short after it emerged that just 3 per cent of their cars and vans currently use alternative power sources such as electricity or biodiesel. Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) revealed that just 669 of the 20,534 vehicles operated by Scotland's health boards, police forces and local authorities run on alternative fuel.
