Go Ultra Low West’s stated aim is to provide the infrastructure and environment for conversion to electric and ultra-low emission vehicles.
Seven electric Peugeot Partner vans will be used by council departments such as repairs and maintenance, parks and estates and the records office.
Additionally, the parking services team will receive six Nissan Leaf zero-emission cars to use in and around central Bristol.
The pilot OLEV charge points have already been installed for the West of England car club vehicles and will be ready for use later this year.
Public charge points will be deployed later this year with more locations to follow over the next three years.

The city of Birmingham is home to the highest number of ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs) in the UK, according to new research: there were 12,247 licenced models as of Q4 last year, says number plate specialist Click4reg.
Its analysis of the top 20 UK local authorities was carried out ahead of government plans to host a zero-emissions vehicle summit in September 2018. The event is due to focus on vehicle technology to tackle carbon emissions and improve air quality.
The research showed that Peterbo
BlueSG will launch a large-scale electric vehicle (EV) car-sharing programme in Singapore on the 12 December as part of its vision to accomplish a fleet of 1,000 EVs and 2,000 charging points by 2020. Called the BlueSG programme, it is available as either a premium yearly membership plan priced $15 (£11) per month, or a weekly plan which does not require any recurring fees. Additionally, 30 BlueSG stations that offer 120 charging points will be rolled out by the end of the year; 18 of which are in
