Glasgow Council has taken delivery of ten Peugeot eExpert cars in the first stage of a trial scheme.
The electric vehicles will play a part in the council's "quest for a cleaner, greener city" as they join the existing fleet of vehicles.
Allied Electric provided the vehicles and will supply a further 30 Peugeot ePartners in September to complete the experimental fleet.
The cars and vans and their drivers will supply information and feedback on the "viability of including these vehicles in fleets" in the long term.
Iain Gray, chief executive of the Technology Strategy Board, said: "The Technology Strategy Board's investment is enabling vital trials with prototype vehicles to fully understand user driving habits, charging patterns and any vehicle improvements that can be made."
He added: "As we creep closer to our deadline of 80 per cent carbon emission reductions by 2050, it's crucial that, now, more than ever, we have initiatives in place to help us go some way to reach these targets."
