Fleets and Fuel Use 
UBC's fleet includes 11 electric vehicles.
UBC has a large vehicle fleet of over 300 vehicles. Two-thirds of the UBC vehicle fleet is managed by Fleet Management, a department of Land and Building Services. The remainder of campus-owned vehicles are managed and operated by university departments or faculties.
The Fleets and Fuel Use Climate Action Working Group is developing a plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from UBC’s vehicle fleets. Members of the working group include staff members from Fleet Management, Forestry, Earth and Ocean Sciences, UBC Security, and a faculty member from Mechanical Engineering.
