The City of Somerville is taking the lead in reducing emissions to zero by the year 2050 with its recent purchase four electric Ford Focus Hatchbacks. The vehicle in the photos is assigned to the Traffic & Parking Department.

Other departments that will be utilizing these environmentally friendly cars and what further investments are being made are yet to be announced by the city.

The “SustainaVille” logo on the cars reflects the city’s commitment to continuing this movement and one day having a zero emission fleet.
