The Scottish Fire & Rescue Service has ordered 45 Renault ZOEs, fully-electric vehicles.

The all-electric Renault ZOE will be helping to save lives now that the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service (SFRS) ordered 45 to be used throughout Scotland in the support of its frontline operations.

The zero-emissions vehicles will be used as general pool vehicles, with each covering at least 16,000 km a year. They will be used by uniformed staff, office employees and management to interact with the public in non-emergency situations.

Vincent Tourette, Managing Director of Renault UK, said: “The work performed by the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service is invaluable and we’re delighted that they have called on the Renault ZOE to help them efficiently spread important, life-saving messages and commence its ambition to electrify its entire fleet. With the ZOEs being deployed in many rural communities and by a whole variety of drivers, it’s a fantastic illustration of how versatile and usable a car it is.”
