The so-called"dirty" trucks have diesel engines that average only around three miles per gallon and have to run constantly for 14 hours a day to power the vehicle’s hydraulic, garbage-crushing mechanisms—even when halted. They’re a big source of particulate pollution on runs through residential areas.
Lorenz’s longer-term vision is that whenever any industrial diesel-powered vehicle comes to the end of its life, a nearby Lunaz plant will be able to give it an upgrade and keep it on the road, far cleaner. He says that fixing the UK’s garbage trucks could make a significant dent in the 330 000 tons of carbon dioxide that trucks operated by local authorities emit annually , let alone the CO2 emissions required to build new vehicles.
The world’s supply chain problems are also making it harder for UK councils to get new trucks, sweetening the appeal of Lunaz’s trucks."There’s a 15-month wait time for a diesel Mercedes Econic, let alone an electric one," Lorenz says.
