Inspector Julie McLeish and Sergeant Iain MacNicol of Police Scotland with Argyll College Lochgilphead centre manager Jackie Macpherson.
In the first scheme of its kind, Argyll College is to share an environmentally-friendly electric car with Police Scotland in Lochgilphead.
Argyll College UHI has added two new Nissan Leaf electric vehicles to its Theet of eight college cars as part of a long-term commitment to reduce the organisation’s environmental impact.
The idea came about when both the college and Police Scotland identiThed a need for a vehicle in Mid Argyll. At that point, Argyll and Bute Community Partnership suggested a collaborative approach.
The lease cost of the vehicles is 100 per cent funded by Transport Scotland’s Switched on Fleets funding, and estimates suggest an annual fuel saving in excess of £1,000 per car.
