189 Siemens UK has been awarded one of the largest electric vehicle (EV) projects funded by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles, the installation of a complete EV charging solution for Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council and Gloucestershire County Council who are all members of the Source West consortium.

A total of 15 multi-standard triple-outlet rapid chargers will be installed in strategic locations in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and Gloucestershire with connection to the Pay As You Go national network provided by Charge Your Car.

The project includes project management, site design, civil and electrical works, installation and commissioning, and three years maintenance managed by the company’s field services team.

Councillor Gus Hoyt, assistant Mayor with responsibility for the environment, said: ‘I’m delighted by this announcement which will help promote the use of more environmentally-friendly forms of transport. This will create a cleaner, better city for all of us to live and work in. Bristol, European Green Capital, is continuing to lead the way in pioneering the use of green technology and innovative solutions such as the recent successful pilot hydrogen-powered ferry which operated from the Harbourside last year.’
