Volvo Group has presented the ACT Emergency Services Agency (ESA) with the country’s first battery electric emergency vehicle. Following an initial Volvo vehicle and driver training program, the e-vehicle is expected to get to work in and around the ACT in early 2024. President of Volvo Group Australia, Martin Merrick, said both the ESA and ACT should be commended for becoming early adopters of sustainable vehicle solutions. With this project, government and the emergency services are leading by example in moving to net-zero vehicles,” he said. “The delivery of this co-designed vehicle is a significant step in our journey to lowering emissions within our emergency services fleet,” he said.
