UAE: The first 100% electric rubbish truck in the Middle East was introduced in Abu Dhabi
The first totally electric heavy truck to be introduced in the Middle East was by Abu Dhabi rubbish Management (Tadweer), which also unveiled the first 100% electric rubbish truck in the UAE.
Tadweer, the lone waste management steward for Abu Dhabi,
will collect residential garbage in the emirate using the first Renault 100%
electric vehicle.
Following the signing of a contract between Tadweer and Al
Masaood during the recent EcoWaste Exhibition and Conference, the vehicle was
produced by Renault Trucks, under the dealership of Al Masaood.
In addition to addressing logistical issues like the lack
of charging stations along important routes, the Renault Trucks E-tech truck,
the first heavy truck operating in the area, will run a pilot program to
evaluate the vehicle's performance in the high temperatures of the capital's
summer heat.
The Renault Trucks E-Tech D Wide P6x2 will be working in
Abu Dhabi to collect domestic rubbish, nearly silently and with no tailpipe
emissions thanks to its 23 cubic meter Gorica-Farid electric garbage compactor.
The introduction of the Renault E-Tech waste management
truck is also a commitment to the electrified mobility objectives of the UAE
and Abu Dhabi, which put the nation and its capital at the forefront of the
world. The federal government just recently committed to building more than 800
EV charging stations around the nation.
By adopting approximately 100 of the trucks each to
fulfill their obligations to sustainability and their communities, metropolitan
centers like Paris and Barcelona have already shown the usefulness and
performance of the Renault Trucks D-Wide E-tech in Europe.
