Milton Keynes orders RCVs05 July 2023
Milton Keynes City Council has ordered 65 Dennis Eagle refuse collection vehicles (RCV) as part of a waste and recycling contract.
The fleet will be used for the city’s new waste and recycling service to be operated by Suez Recycling and Recovery UK from September this year.
Four of the new vehicles will be 6x2 all-electric eCollects, following a successful trial of the zero-emissions eRCV by the city council last year.
The remaining trucks are all conventional Elite+ chassis with Olympus bodies. Fifty of them will have 6x2 Wide chassis with rear-steer and a 21m3 body and eleven will be 6x2 Narrow chassis with rear-steer and 19m3 bodies.
All of these vehicles use diesel engines conforming to the latest emissions standards. They are all fitted with Terberg OmniDEL Electric bin lifts to cleanly empty the new wheelie bins being introduced throughout Milton Keynes.
