Shifts waste
March 1st 2005

Biotechnology company, Genzyme, uses a battery powered 1.7t capacity vehicle from Bradshaw Electric Vehicles to help with waste collection at its Haverhill site.

The cage-bodied FB2 vehicle has an all-steel body that is easy to hose clean. It operates at speeds to 17km/h on a site that spans several acres. Some journeys are over public roads, so the vehicle has full road-legal specification.

Battery charging is via a plug into the mains on-board unit.

Ian Wade-Jones, materials manager, says “Only battery power was safe enough to go into areas of the plant subject to fire hazard, and we needed a vehicle that was reliable, compact and easy to clean.”
