On Wednesday January 22nd 2020, Volante is invited for a visit to VDL Translift in Dronten.

VDL Translift 2

The VDL Translift zero emission garbage truck:
“From 2030 no more new diesel-powered garbage trucks in the street and in the following years all garbage trucks that collect household waste will be emission-free.”
The Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, municipalities and parties from the cleaning sector agreed this at the beginning of October of this year in the covenant “sustainable fuels and vehicles in the cleaning sector”.

A zero emission garbage truck, that’s a challenge many automotive engineers have to think about. VDL Translift in Dronten, part of VDL in Brabant, is one of the first manufacturers to market a fully electric refuse truck in two variants.
VDL has considerable experience in the field of electric vehicles, just look at the hundreds of electric city buses that VDL has put on the road in recent years. VDL is also not entirely by accident the founder of the electric DAF truck and spreads this “zero emission” knowledge to all its subsidiary companies.
