Porto City Hall decided to award a rental contract for plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles.

This measure, approved during the meeting of the Executive Body held 28 November, will allow the city to save money (annual fuel savings of approximately 600 thousand Euros) and also reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 2350 tons in the next 4 years.

This decision is part of the environment policy by the municipality, towards more environmentally friendly mobility.

With this new vehicle fleet, the municipality of Porto aims to pursue the ultimate goal of zero emissions of toxic and hazardous materials.

This measure is in line with the Municipal strategy for the municipal strategy for adapting to current climate change and the Improvement Plan to Air Quality for Nitrogen Oxides.
