The cars will be the first time Telstra has had plug-in vehicles on its fleet, and all are wrapped in environmentally-friendly decals made with latex inks and vinyl.

National manager of Telstra fleet, Brendan Stooke, said: ‘We already run a number of fuel efficient and alternative fuel vehicles on the fleet, but this will be Telstra’s first experience with electric cars and we look forward to using the technology to great effect.’

Holden Director – National Fleet George Loukas added: “We’ve hosted a number of events around the country to showcase Volt’s unique technology to fleet operators and buyers.

‘Some fleets see Volt as a great hero vehicle and it certainly looks great with a livery, like the Telstra design.  Other fleets have more interest in developing an understanding of how they might use electric cars in the future, what kind of infrastructure they need to implement and how Volt might help them to meet their carbon reduction targets.’
