The conversion of these two diesel RCV’s to electric RCV’s will ensure NCC continues to meet its statutory obligations in terms of meeting recycling targets and will also be a major step towards the carbon reduction target in line with the Welsh government Wellbeing of Future Generations Act.
The use of 26 tonne vehicles will maximise payload and reduce the number of round trips from the Waste Site, reducing traffic congestion and vehicle emissions.
