Making mobility more sustainable is one of the challenges that municipalities face. In addition to circularity, emission-free transport is a way to do this. With the first electric crane combination, Den Ouden Organic shows that collecting green residual flows can be done without emissions. A first, because an electric crane truck combination did not yet exist here.
13.29 tons of CO2 reduction
The Volvo FH Electric crane truck combination with Penz loading crane and Jumbo Tipper trailer transports, just like the diesel variant, a volume of 85m3 and will be in operation from Q2 2024. The combination emits nothing and thus saves 13.29 tons of CO2 per month. For comparison: you emit 1 ton of CO2 when you fly up and down between Amsterdam and Rome 2.5 times. Den Ouden Organic developed the machine together with BAS Truck Center Veghel, Van Rijssel Carrosseriebedrijf and Wierda Hybrid Technologies.
Leader
Investing in something smarter and better. That is an exciting and expensive step to take, says Joris van de Vleuten, Director of Den Ouden Organic & Brabob. “But necessary. Governments have an emissions task, so there is a need for ways to reduce emissions. We believe that the collection of green residual flows in inner cities should be emission-free to improve the quality of life. And we don't just say that, we really do it.”
Being a forerunner in the market is not new for Den Ouden. “Years ago we were the first to develop the diesel crane truck combination,” says Harm den Ouden, Director of Infrastructure, Bodac & Equipment. We also have a wide range of emission-free machinery, including electric mobile excavators and an electric mini and midi excavator. “Two electric trucks, an electric 30-ton crawler crane and twelve electric commercial vehicles are currently on their way.”
