Only one percent of the Berlin police vehicles do not emit CO2, while the fire brigade has a share of 1.6 percent emission -free vehicles

The vehicle fleets of the police and fire brigade in Berlin are slowly switched to emission -free drives. Of the total of 2782 vehicles of the police, only 1 percent no climate -damaging CO2. This corresponds to 27 electrical and 2 hydrogen cars. Another 105 vehicles have a hybrid drive. This emerges from a still unpublished answer from the interior administration to a parliamentary request from the Green MP Vasili Franco. At the Berlin fire brigade, 11 of the 962 motorized vehicles are currently electrically electrically and 4 driving with hydrogen. This corresponds to a share of 1.6 percent. The aim of the interior management is to increase the proportion of vehicles without CO2 emissions to 4 percent by the end of 2024.

The new procurement is also limited, according to the information. The police of the planned 195 new vehicles in the current year have 160 burners, 5 electrical vehicles and 30 hybrid vehicles. The fire brigade is planning 89 new vehicles, including 83 combustion engine and 6 electric cars.

Vasili Franco, spokesman for domestic politics of the Green Group, criticizes the slow retrofitting on a climate-neutral fleet to the police and fire brigade. The legally intended goal of a largely emission-free state fiction by 2030 still seems to be a bit more and the previous conversion is no longer a symbolic policy.

The vehicle fleet of the police and fire brigade makes about a third of the entire fleet of the state of Berlin. Electric vehicles are still difficult or not available for certain areas of responsibility.

With regard to the electric charging stations, the fire brigade has 14 own charging points. The police currently have 21 own charging stations and plans to install a further 34 charging stations in the course of this year. Vasili Franco criticizes that the police will have more charging stations than electric vehicles at the end of the year.
