Bradshaw Electric Vehicles has launched a new range of all-electric refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) specifically engineered to tackle the challenges of urban waste collection.
The range includes the Goupil G4 and long-wheelbase G4L along with Bradshaw’s pedestrian PFB1500, each designed for local authorities and waste management companies who operate in confined urban areas.
All three models have been made available in three body configurations: hopper only, hopper and bin lift, as well as hopper, bin lift and compaction arm.
Their compact dimensions enable access through street barriers and around street furniture, while electric powertrains make them a greener, quieter and more efficient alternative to traditional refuse collection vehicles.
The road-legal Goupil G4 is available with two lithium battery options, offering either a 62- or 101-mile range on a single charge.
Meanwhile, the standard G4-RCV has a 2.0m3 hopper and a payload of up to 740kg and works with 120-, 240-, and 360-litre bins.
Also, the G4L Long-Wheelbase adds 500mm to its chassis, increases the volume to 3.5m3 and works with larger 660-litre bins.
Each of the three RCVs feature corrosion-resistant aluminium bodies with a 90-degree tipping angle for easy waste disposal into larger containers or larger RCVs for satellite operations, streamlining waste collection rounds and reducing overall time on the streets.
Ramsy Labassi, marketing manager of Bradshaw Electric Vehicles, said, “As a company that is continually looking to innovate and respond to the evolving needs of its customers, we have introduced this new RCV range to offer a more sustainable and efficient solution for urban waste collection.
“We are delighted to already be receiving overwhelming interest for our new vehicles as local authorities and waste contractors seek innovative and environmentally friendly alternatives to existing refuse collection practices.”
