HOME WHO WE ARE WHAT WE DO SECTORS HOW WE DO THINGS OUR NEWS WORK FOR US CONTACT PIONEERING ALL-ELECTRIC WASTE COLLECTION VEHICLE Cl| ALL ELECTRIC WASTE COLLECTION VEHICLE We are proud to have pioneered one of the world’s first all-electric waste collection vehicles, which is compatible for use in the Clean Air Zones we will see being rolled out in urban and suburban centres across the country. By being CAZ compliant the zero emissions, silent operation truck maintains constant access for customers without incurring the costs and fines levied at non-compliant vehicles. SEE OUR ALL-ELECTRIC VEHICLE IN ACTION Why not get in touch? CONTACT Clean Air Zone Compliant The truck has been designed to be compliant with the recently introduced Bath Clean Air Zone (CAZ), the impending CAZ in Bristol and the expected rollout of others in urban centres around the region. This not only drastically reduces the output of harmful emissions in these places but also guarantees that businesses can have their waste collected without incurring additional costs in fines and with no further disruption or delay. The truck will serve a wide range of commercial and retail businesses, as well as vital service sector businesses including hospitals, doctors’ surgeries, schools and retirement homes. Zero emissions It has been calculated that the truck saves six tonnes of CO2 going into the atmosphere each year. To offset this 36 trees would have to be planted annually for every diesel truck that remains on the road. This means in the life cycle of a truck over seven years more than 252 trees would have to be planted, or 2,520 trees for a fleet of 10 trucks. Ground-breaking electric hydraulic compactor MJ Church specified a 10-hour operating shift range and an electrically-powered hydraulic lifter, packer and compactor into the design, which can lift large commercial bins, empty them into the hopper, compact the refuse and then subsequently eject it. This demands a lot of power and that puts a significant demand on the batteries. No other manufacturer has been able to come up with a similarly robust, efficient and reliable solution for this. “I’m so proud that MJ Church are stepping forward and leading the way in showing how commercial operators can invest in really modern technology, modern machinery and vehicles.” Tim Bowles Former South West Metro Mayor Sign up to learn more about the project SIGN UP NOW Recent News BLOG POSTS Clean Air Zones – threat or opportunity?
