HERE’S HOW...

  • E-Drive – our self-charging hybrid electric system
  • NO noxious exhaust fumes while working
  • Platform battery recharges between jobs
  • Fuel and maintenance savings
  • Lower carbon footprint
  • Quieter - less noise pollution
  • Smooth operations

DID YOU KNOW?

The average diesel-driven van engine ticking over uses about 1 litre fuel/hour. Over a year, an engine running 3 hours/day for 200 working days will consume 600L fuel and emit 1.5 tons of CO2, not to mention the noxious exhaust fumes and associated noise pollution.

We have developed a solution that saves all the pollution whilst working on a task. E-Drive is our self-charging hybrid electric system.

  • NO exhaust emissions during platform operation.
  • You save 1.5 tons CO2 each year.

Admittedly, you still have to have a diesel or petrol driven vehicle, because the hybrid vehicles are currently not economically viable.

E-Drive – A GAME CHANGER FOR ACCESS PLATFORMS

E-Drive – our self-charging hybrid electric system comes as standard across our portfolio. It powers up to 20 cycles with the engine turned off. The battery is then recharged en-route to the next job, so there’s never any need to plug in.

This delivers fuel savings, and less frequent engine services because of fewer running hours. Engines also run cleaner because soot accumulation during tickover is reduced.

REDUCED NOISE POLLUTION

E-Drive operates between 49-55dB. This is somewhere between a whisper and a conversation. Near silent operation improves working conditions and communication with the ground, and reduces public nuisance.

REDUCED FUME POLLUTION

The HSE states that, “short term exposure to diesel exhaust can cause eye irritation, breathing problems and inflammatory symptoms. Prolonged exposure can lead to coughing and breathlessness, lung damage and an increased risk of lung cancer”. We can’t yet avoid this altogether, but E-Drive offers an easy way to reduce exposure.
