This winter, Brent will be the first area in the UK to operate an entire fleet of electric salt spreaders.
Brent Council's contractor, Veolia, will grit the borough’s 1,700 roads with the new equipment.
The five electric salt spreaders will be mounted to existing vehicles, replacing diesel powered spreaders.
Gisela Endres, senior contract manager for Veolia Brent, said: “We are very excited to be launching a fleet of new electric spreader bodies which will help our dedicated street cleansing teams carry out their work efficiently and sustainably.
