Clean Fleet Collaboration: Central Kootenay and Nelson

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (Central Kootenay) and the City of Nelson (Nelson) have joined forces to reduce GHG emissions from their fleets. Ramona Mattix of Central Kootenay explained, “Because our fleet size is limited and the way that E3 Fleet is marketed, it made more sense for us to go in together.”
Central Kootenay and Nelson are at the beginning of the E3 process, which involves filling in and submitting spreadsheets. They are already seeing opportunities to reduce costs by working together.
Advice from E3 Fleet
“The primary objective of going to E3 Fleet for us was really about getting guidance and suggestions on how to lower our fleet emissions,” explained Ramona. “It could be a hybrid car, switching to biofuels, upgrading older vehicles, idling reduction, purchasing different kinds of pumper trucks – we just want to reduce our emissions.”
