Car Ownership and Fuel type

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I respectfully request the following information regarding the vehicles owned, managed, or leased by your authority as of August 2025.
1. Total number of road-legal vehicles currently owned, managed, or leased by the council. This should include all vehicle types (e.g., cars, vans, HGVs, specialist vehicles) registered for use on public roads.
2. A Breakdown of the different fuel types
Electric: Vehicles powered solely by an electric battery.
Hybrid: Vehicles that combine an electric motor with a petrol or diesel internal combustion engine (this includes both standard hybrids and plug-in hybrids).
Petrol: Vehicles powered solely by petrol (excluding hybrids).
Diesel: Vehicles powered solely by diesel (excluding hybrids).

Notes to ensure clarity:
"Road legal" refers to vehicles that are registered to drive on public roads, excluding those used solely on private land (e.g., golf buggies, some groundskeeping equipment).
"Owned, managed, or leased" includes any vehicles under the council's direct control, regardless of the financial arrangement.
