Vehicles in use by the Scottish Government by fuel or energy type: EIR release
Information requested
Breakdown of vehicles in use (owned / leased) within each department of the Scottish Government by fuel or energy type, e.g. petrol, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), battery electric (BEV). I’m mainly interested in EV adoption, so if it’s not possible to discriminate into the different types, ICE v BEV is acceptable.
I’d also like to know specifically the fuel type of the vehicles typically used by the Minister(s) within the departments for their official duties.
I note that you have previously responded to similar queries about EV adoption and if there is already a recently similar query please point me towards it.
