2006 District of Maple Ridge -- Fleet Vehicles

All in all, this program works towards meeting the municipality’s objective of contributing towards a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective way. The purchase of the 12 hybrid electric vehicles will result in the following benefits:

  • Carbon dioxide emission reductions are estimated at 24,000 kilograms per year or 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide per vehicle replaced.
  • Municipal fuel savings are estimated at $1,080 per vehicle for a total of nearly $13,000. Based on the foregoing, we expect to recover the cost of the additional outlay within 7 years
