Penzance Council will be switching to all-electric vehicles for its Leisure & Amenities Team this year.

We have already had the UK’s first ever road-registered Etesia ET Lander delivered which you may have seen our teams getting to grips with out and about in the parish!

The ET Lander is 100% electric powered and will be used for a variety of open spaces tasks, including park and play area maintenance, allotment management, and supporting the town wide watering programme. It will also be used to transport the team around the parish for our weed treatment programme.
