Biffa & LUNAZ Partner To Up-Cycle Refuse Collection Trucks In The UK
After a long wait, we are starting to see more traction in the brand new heavy electric truck sector. Volvo, Scania, DAF, and several other manufacturers of heavy electric trucks are scaling up production. They are working across the board including electric trucks for applications in critical areas such as in the construction and mining sector, including tippers, mixers, and cranes.
Lunaz has a capacity to upcycle over 1,110 industrial vehicles every year, and has committed to expanding its UK upcycling and electrification footprint to meet surging demand for electrified vehicles in the run-up to the 2030 ban on the sale of fossil-fueled vehicles. The two firms say there are significant benefits for the British economy, as Biffa and Lunaz are pioneering growth in circular practices at a critical time, supporting more than 300 jobs and a new, green capability.
Lunaz says every upcycled electric vehicle it produces saves 82% of the embedded carbon within that vehicle. For context, at full capacity, Lunaz’ factory in Silverstone, UK, will save the equivalent weight of the Eiffel Tower every year in embedded carbon by upcycling rather than scraping existing fleet vehicles.
The upcycling process also creates significant functional and operational advantages. In collaboration with Biffa’s technical team, Lunaz’ 150 specialist engineers are developing key modifications exactly tailored to Biffa, its clients, and its drivers’ operational requirements.
