Gibraltar is taking significant strides towards a greener future, and Prime Auto is proud to be at the forefront of this electrifying transition. In a landmark move, we’ve supplied the Gibraltar Fire and Rescue Service (GFRS) with their very first electric vans in Gibraltar: two state-of-the-art Citroën e-Berlingo vehicles.

This initiative, widely reported by the Gibraltar government, underscores the commitment of both the GFRS and Prime Auto to embracing sustainable transportation solutions within Gibraltar. These fully electric vans in Gibraltar will serve as crucial frontline support vehicles for the Fire and Rescue Service, demonstrating the viability and benefits of electric vans in Gibraltar for even demanding public service roles.

The adoption of electric vans in Gibraltar, spearheaded by the GFRS with the Citroën e-Berlingo, highlights several key advantages. These electric vans offer a practical range perfectly suited for navigating Gibraltar’s urban landscape, coupled with the spaciousness and reliability essential for emergency services. By choosing electric vans, the GFRS is not only reducing carbon emissions within Gibraltar but also potentially lowering long-term operational costs associated with traditional fuel and maintenance.

Prime Auto is delighted to partner with the Gibraltar Fire and Rescue Service in this pioneering move towards electric vans in Gibraltar. This collaboration showcases a shared vision for a sustainable future for our community, demonstrating the capabilities of electric vans to meet the diverse needs of Gibraltar.

This exciting step to a greener Gibraltar also highlights the importance of ongoing advancements in electric vehicle safety. As explored in our previous article on electric car fires, while EVs generally have a lower incidence of fires compared to petrol vehicles (you have a link to the full article below), understanding their unique characteristics and ensuring emergency services are equipped and trained to handle any potential incidents remains paramount. The GFRS’s adoption of these e-Berlingo vans signifies a commitment to both environmental responsibility and the safety of our community, and we at Prime Auto are proud to support them in this forward-thinking initiative.

Prime Auto is committed to providing the latest and most efficient electric vans in Gibraltar, supporting the transition to a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable transportation infrastructure for our town.

We commend the GFRS for its leadership in adopting electric vans. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact these vehicles will have on our community and environment.
