National waste recycling specialist Recycling Lives has ordered the UK's first two battery-electric 18-tonne Renault D Wide Z.E. skip loaders. The two vehicles will be located at the Recycling Park in Preston, employed in daily operations servicing commercial and household clients. They are a result of a project where Recycling Lives worked with Renault Trucks to co-design a bespoke electric skip loader vehicle. Gerry Marshall, Recycling Lives' CEO, pictured at right with Renault UK & Ireland MD Carlos Rodriguez, commented on the partnership. He said: "A significant driver for our business is innovation. These vehicles are an industry first, and they'll be a standard element of our fleet in time.
