Energy Efficiency at RSU
Updating the University’s vehicle pool
In 2021, Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) had 21 cars, three of which were electric cars (purchased in 2014). To reduce CO² emissions, four cars were replaced in 2022 as part of efforts to update the University's vehicle pool. One of the vehicles was replaced with an electric car.
Nine cars were replaced in 2023, of which four are electric.
