Chris Demetriou is the Assistant Director of Corporate Fleet, Transport & Accessible Community Transport at the London Borough of Islington. As the council’s operator’s license holder, he oversees a fleet of over 500 vehicles. On his priority list is the council’s fleet electrification program, which aims to transition existing vehicles to full battery electric models in alignment with the council’s 2030 net-zero commitment.

With more than 20 years of public service experience in local government, Chris is deeply passionate about environmental issues. He is dedicated to achieving Islington Council’s ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by both reducing and replacing the current internal combustion engine fleet with full battery electric equivalent vehicles. Islington Council is a leader in phasing out fossil-fuelled vehicles, having already implemented innovative technologies such as the award-winning ‘upcycling’ of end-of-life diesel refuse collection vehicles to electric as well the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) refuse collection vehicles which have powered various events across the borough. Additionally, Islington were the first local authority to operate 6 x 7.5-ton electric cage tippers and a fully accessible community transport bus.

Chris’s forward-thinking approach extends to various related projects, including Vehicle-to-Grid technology, solar PV, and energy storage systems. Chris’s ambition is to transform the council’s main fleet depot into a micro-grid in the future.”
