RENAULT Trucks’ first electric truck dedicated to construction with zero emissions is set to be delivered to plant hire specialist, the Noblet Group. It is the D Wide Z.E. fitted with Jocquin tipper body and Hiab X HiPro 142-E crane.
The fully electric 26 tonne 6×2 with a steered rear axle is equipped with a pack of four 66kWh batteries. The vehicle is geared to construction operations in urban and suburban environments.
The crane and tipping gear, which require the motor to be kept active, will now be operated without CO2 emissions or noise, also eliminating one of the challenges of off-road use, the raising of dust by exhaust emissions, without the need to install a vertical exhaust system.
