Tecumseh council approved the town’s 2026 fleet replacement plan on Tuesday evening.

Ten vehicles and pieces of equipment will be purchased this year as part of the long-term replacement program, with quotes to be issued through the town’s procurement process.

The cost is about $926,000 for fleet vehicles and another $1.3 million for fire-related equipment, all funded through reserves.

Administration noted rising vehicle costs will require an additional $249,000 a year in future budgets to keep the program sustainable.

Once new units are delivered, older vehicles will be declared surplus and sold.
