Our e-One demonstration vehicle is continuing its tour, visiting councils and private waste operators across the UK, and will be joined by a second vehicle in February. The vehicles are booked up until April next year.

To date the vehicle has covered more than:

1857 km travelled 188 hours of demonstration rounds Lifted 12,118 domestic bins; 1006 trade bins Picked up 221 tonnes of waste

RVS Business Development Director Mandy Brown: “We’ve had great feedback and the organisations that have trialled the vehicle have all been very impressed with aspects of the vehicle. They’ve put it on the hardest rounds and its gone head to head with the diesel vehicle equivalent.”

London-based Paper Round was so impressed after putting the vehicle through its paces that it has already placed an order and delivered an existing vehicle ready for electric conversion.

Tom Mockridge, Commercial Director, Paper Round:

“We were very impressed with the e-One’s performance during the trial. The vehicle matched our diesel vehicles in terms of mileage covered, bins lifted and waste collected, but used less energy and generated zero local carbon emissions. Our driver really liked the handling of the vehicle and the loaders said it was the same as a traditional truck from an operational point of view.”
