The city of Barcelona, Spain will use 73 Renault E-Tech D, D Wide, and D Wide LEC electric trucks for waste collection and maintenance that it has ordered and is launching soon to clean the streets of the Catalan capital.
Barcelona itself has made zero-emission trucks mandatory in its latest public tender covering municipal maintenance. With an order for 73 Renault electric trucks for cleaning and waste collection from CLD Sorigué, Urbaser and Valoriza.
These contracts are awarded in stages to several waste management subcontractors who share the same sustainability goals for the city. Waste collection companies CLD Sorigué, Urbaser and Valoriza (Sacyr Group) selected Renault Trucks to provide 73 electric trucks.
Thanks to these advantages, Renault trucks can be the ideal solution for public tenders. Rear loaders (single and double compartment), side loaders (right and left), sweeper-spray tankers, tipper trucks and cranes, lift hooks and low-entry cab for greater operator comfort.
The electric trucks will be delivered in phases, including a training period to teach operators about electric technology and driving techniques. The first batch, including rear loaders, sweepers-sprayers and tippers, has been delivered and the vehicles are already in use on city roads.
