Accelerate your route to net-zero with a risk-free eRCV pilot from RVS and VEV

Integrating electric vehicles into waste and recycling fleets is a complex, capital-intensive endeavour. eRCVs are a multiple of the price of an ICE vehicle, and as a relatively new technology, it can feel they are unproven as a part of critical operations. Before committing to full investment, fleets need a way to validate whether eRCVs can meet range, payload and uptime demands.

Our joint eRCV pilot provides an operationally-proven eRCV for waste fleets to trial on their routes, with their drivers. We provide support for the vehicles and chargers throughout the trial, alongside regular insights into vehicle, energy and charger use. At the end of the trial, we sit down together and map out your electrification roadmap, moving from the pilot to a scaled eRCV fleet, with a business case based in real world operational data from your pilot.

How it works

1. Set Up

We work with you to set the pilot up for success, including:

  • Site visit & charger installation
  • Route identification
  • Driver training and onboarding

2. Run

Working together to run the pilot, ensuring you and your team get the most from it, including:

  • A proven eRCV, backed up by hands on support
  • Ongoing telematics and energy data collection
  • Regular touchpoints to answer questions

3. Wrap-up

We take data and learnings from the pilot to help shape a final report including:

  • Driver survey
  • TCO savings
  • Phased rollout plan
