EV skip trucks stay safe with Vision Techniques
Waste recycling specialist Recycling Lives has invested in safety technology from Vision Techniques for its new electric skip transporters.
Operating across over 20 sites in the UK, Recycling Lives is a recycling and waste management business and a major car processor, with over 40 years’ experience in the recycling sector.
The two 19-tonne E-Tech DZE trucks were designed and developed in collaboration with Renault Trucks and mark the start of Recycling Lives’ journey to decarbonisation of its entire fleet. They have been fitted with Vision Techniques’ Turnaware, Turnalarm, video recording systems and telematics.
The all-electric vehicles will be used in daily operations, servicing commercial and household clients.
Eddie Hollingsworth, head of transport operations at Recycling Lives, said: “Our industry is fast-paced and is at the forefront of ensuring collectively we minimise our impact on the environment. Moving to a decarbonised fleet is one way we can do that, but we also need to ensure that safety is paramount.”
Dave Smith, operations manager at Vision Techniques, added: “Recycling Lives is truly a ground-breaking business. We’re proud to have our products used on their vehicles and help them create a transport fleet that is incredibly safe for its people and the public.”
