Proving the case for eRCVs with Serco and three Hampshire councils
VEV Managed Trials
Net Zero Waste collection
To demonstrate the emissions savings, operational feasibility, and business case to electrify RCV fleets, VEV and Serco have run a pilot of eRCVs on select routes across two depots serving three Hampshire councils. The electric vehicles for the pilot were provided by RVS, the refuse vehicle solution provider.
Key findings
The 8-week pilot showed that eRCVs will deliver net zero emissions for net zero cost increase and enable councils to improve air quality in their communities. See the key facts and stats in this infographic.
