The University of Reading has continued its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint by taking part in a trial of one of the first fully electric waste collection vehicles in the UK.
The University’s waste contractor, Select Environmental, took delivery of the fully electric truck for a two-day trial in late August, understood to be one of only two such vehicles in the UK.
The truck was trialed on the University’s Whiteknights campus over two days.
Philip Stone, Managing Director at Select Environmental, said: “The vehicle lived up to our expectations. "It worked well and performed to our requirements and importantly the drivers were extremely impressed in its abilities and ease of use.
"We definitely see this as an inevitable addition to our fleet and its initial adoption into the University of Reading’s service.” - link - more like this - link
