Serco supports some of the largest councils in the UK, providing a range of outsourced services. Over 300 councils have declared climate emergencies, and with refuse and recycling collection accounting for a large proportion of a council’s emissions total, fleet electrification is a priority.

To demonstrate the emissions savings, operational feasibility, and business case to electrify RCV fleets, VEV and Serco ran a pilot of eRCVs on select routes across two depots serving three Hampshire councils. The electric vehicles for the pilot were provided by RVS, the refuse vehicle solution provider.

Learn what the pilot demonstrated in terms of performance, sustainability, reliability and business case. The bottom line is the pilot proved the case for eRCVs.
