INSIGHTS
At Dennis Eagle, we are pioneering the transition to zero-emissions waste collection. By leading the innovation in electric refuse collection vehicles (eRCVs), we are taking our long-standing commitment to excellence, reliability, and sustainability into the future.
At Dennis Eagle, we believe that sustainability and performance go hand-in-hand. We're proud to be leading the charge towards a cleaner, greener future for refuse management. Below, we take a look at environmental challenges and our innovative solutions.
Poor air quality impacts pedestrians, cyclists, drivers and entire communities
Air pollution reduces quality of life in urban and rural environments
Pollution damages ecosystems and reduces biodiversity
Petrol and diesel vehicles are major contributors to global warming
Frequent stopping and starting creates substantial methane emissions
Future generations will suffer if we don't make changes now
Stop-start traffic makes vehicles less fuel-efficient, increasing emissions
Petrol engines increase noise pollution on busy roads
Electric vehicles create healthier environments, even in congestion
eRCVs require high-powered chargers and sufficient space in depots
eRCVs need specialised maintenance, requiring training and upskilled technicians
Lack of standardisation in charging infrastructure and vehicle specifications
No exhaust fumes, so don’t release harmful pollutants at tailpipe
Zero greenhouse gas emissions at tailpipe
Cleaner air around sensitive locations such as schools and hospitals
Better quality of life for your crews and the communities you serve
No engine noise means there is less noise pollution
No combustion vibrations mean less rattling
Reduced noise levels create a more comfortable working environment
More peaceful and pleasant atmosphere in the communities you serve
More efficient and cheaper to run than traditional RCV's
Cheaper fuel source than diesel per mile
eRCVs travel further than traditional RCVs on the same amount of energy
Reduced maintenance costs because of fewer moving parts than diesel RCVs
