As Recycling Lives begin the journey to decarbonise their entire fleet, these all-electric vehicles will be used in daily operations, servicing commercial and household clients.<\/p>\n<p>The Renault Trucks E-Tech D Wides have capacity to complete a full day\u2019s work on a single charge with zero tailpipe emissions and low traffic noise. These features mean that the trucks are well suited to cities ambitious to reduce CO2 emissions and improve air quality, and their low sound output makes them ideal for use in urban areas where noise pollution is a problem.\u00a0 Powered by 265kWh batteries, each truck is equipped with a 22kW on board AC charger and is compatible with DC fast charging up to 150kW, allowing fast charging of the vehicle to extend its daily operational range. The vehicle comes with Renault Trucks\u2019 Battery Performance Promise which guarantees battery operation, in this case for up to seven years.<\/p>\n<p>Gerry Marshall, CEO of Recycling Lives explained: \u201cThis transition to electric skip trucks is just another example of our commitment to environmental innovation. As part of our decarbonisation strategy, we are looking to further reduce our carbon footprint by using more sustainable fuel solutions, this could include for example green hydrogen which is part of our Energy from Waste project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been fantastic to work with Renault Trucks on such a critical product and we would like to thank them for all their support. Moving towards zero-carbon transport solutions is a huge business priority, so we\u2019re looking forward to getting these UK-first electric skip trucks on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Scott, Head of Electric Mobility for Renault Trucks adds, \u201cIt has been great to find a proactive partner in Recycling Lives willing to bring electric vehicles into service in such a familiar but demanding environment.\u201d The first truck has begun its work and Recycling Lives will take delivery of the next in due course.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rhcv.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Lives-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rhcv.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Lives-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rhcv.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Lives-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rhcv.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Lives-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rhcv.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Lives-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rhcv.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Lives-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waste recycling specialist Recycling Lives has begun zero tailpipe emissions skips services with the UK\u2019s first 100% electric skip transporter truck, one of two Renault Trucks E-Tech D18 Wides to be based at its 15-acre Recycling Park in Preston. &nbsp; These are the first electric skip loaders in the UK, developed by Renault Trucks to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":3993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-118"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>UK&#039;s First Electric Skip Truck Starts Work - RH Commercial Vehicles<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The UK&#039;s first electric skip has arrived and it is a Renault Truck!
