Claiming a first for the industry, a national construction equipment and services hire company is offering a zero-emission option to construction companies.
Prime Minister of the UK Boris Johnson presented an expansive document ahead of the COP26 climate conference as part of a package to improve local on-street residential charge points.
Electric vans will be fitted with a charging pad to park on as part of the trial. The £1.6 million project is led by Flexible Power Systems, in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council and Heriot-Watt University.
The first 19 of these zero-emission buses have now entered service in Birmingham, where the operator’s 80-year old Yardley Wood garage has been retrofitted with plug chargers for each bus.
A single charge gives the eCanter an operating range of approximately 100 km, which is ample for many urban delivery applications.
Making public transport efficient, effective, and attractive is at core of public policy across most of Europe to meet sustainability challenges.
